To my understanding, after the bank sells the property, we are responsible to pay back the difference between the amount the house sold for and the balance of the loan. Well, my ex informed me he is filing for bankruptcy. Does that mean that he will not be responsible for the balance? Will the bank sue me for it and possibly garnish my wages and even repossess my car? Should I file bankruptcy too? Neither of us have any money. Please help! Thank you!

This is my personal experience, your state may be different.
Once the courts find that anyone who is on the deed is in bankruptcy they will cease and decist proceedings. It is the bank may take it before the bk courts and request that the party who has NOT filed be held solely responsible it is possible that they could go after you, but again consult an attorney.
