Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Kentucky

my ex-spouse filled bankruptcy chapter13

My ex spouse filled chapter 13. We have a joint mortgage and he was court ordered to make the payment until he bought me out or the property was sold. He let it go into foreclosure and filed chapter 13. Will the mortgage company come after me? Also I am remarried. Can this affect my husband. The property the foreclosure is on is in Kentucky. I now reside in WVA. any advice would greatly help me. Thanks in advance!

You must consult a bankruptcy lawyer.
