Your posting is a little confusing. It isn't clear what you are asking. If there was no loan or lien on the car, then it seems that you would not be required to take possession of it just because your ex wife filed for bankruptcy. If there was a pre-divorce loan or other lien you might be liable.Unless the lender was made a party in your divorce case, they are not limited by the Divorce Decree or Division of property/debt Order. If you would have been liable for nonpayment without the divorce, you still could be. If she took out the loan or suffered the lien after the divorce, you are probably not liable. You should address this with the attorney that represented yo in the property division portion of your divorce.

Good luck
