When you indicated that you purchased the land, what money did you use to purchase it? Also, presuming the quit claim deed your spouse signed was validly created and executed, was there anything she received in exchange for her executing said deed? The assumption in her having been granted the BK discharge is that she declared that she had no asset to sell and pay off some of her discharged bills.
