I don't know the details of your financial circumstances so I can not say how it may effect you. However, if the bankruptcy is pending while your divorce is pending, then the family court does not have jurisdiction to divide the assets until the bankruptcy is completed.

If he discharges any of your joint debts in bankruptcy, you can be responsible to the creditor unless you file bankruptcy as well.
