Answer: Just to clarify, you are not being asked to pay your ex's debt, the Trustee wants your ex's portion of any equity in the property, which is jointly owned. They are giving you the opportunity to pay this amount to preserve the property from sale. If you cannot do this, they could force the sale of the house.
You may want to seek legal advice due to the settlement and his going bankrupt.

If you have a serious debt problem, bankruptcy can free you from your debts within 12 months. As a solution for dealing with serious debt, bankruptcy is a last resort. Other debt solutions need to be explored first, to help determine if bankruptcy is the right debt solution for you.
