Thanks for your posting, and I'm sorry to hear about your domestic violence situation.

You are not liable for any debts you are excluded from on your divorce order (as part of the written order), or debts after the divorce decree is entered and filed.

You can definitely file bankruptcy. That is another subject, but if you are interested or have other questions, please feel free to email or call my office. Thanks!
