Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania

Bankruptcy

I recently went threw a divorce, it finalized in March 2007. I have incurred debt threw the years of marriage and seperation. My x was given the house and to take responsibility and didnt. I found out it is in foreclosure threw prothonatary. Can I file bankruptcy myself on all my debts without him? I have credit cards, medical bills, a judgement from a car repo, and now a foreclosure on the house. The only debt in marital names is the house. I have no assests besides my 1992 car, and it isnt even an asset. When I left my marriage all i took were my kids things, and my clothing. I have a very limited monthly income, three kids, have a roomate to help with bills, and need an attorney that can help me on a slide fee schedule pmt plan, or free. Any advice or suggestions?

Yes you should be able to file a bankruptcy without your ex.

The specific plan would need a review of your situation by an attorney.

Good luck to you.
