Re: bankrupcy

You should get a notice regarding the meeting of creditors and about asserting a claim. If the settlement agreement in the divorce was drafted correctly, then these debts will be "domestic support obligations" and non-dischargeable as to you. It is important not to ignore his bankruptcy, though, to protect your interest.
