They can continue to make payments. The bank doesn't care where the money comes from.
As to transferring the property the easiest way would be to obtain a divorce from your dad and take the house in the divorce subject to obtaining a refinance of the mortgage.

My circumstances have changed and I regret including my home in my bankruptcy. I didn’t know if there was any way to get an amended agreement, etc.
answered on Sep 13, 2020
Is the bankruptcy still open or is it closed? Did you receive a discharge or a dismissal? Is it or was it a Chapter 7 or 13? The first thing I would advise is to talk to your bankruptcy attorney if you had one. You need to sit down with your attorney or another attorney who handles bankruptcy so... Read more »

That depends, there are a few ways to delay foreclosure and hold the bank off depending on where you are in the process. It would be difficult to answer without more information.
answered on Jul 3, 2019
Hi there, this question is missing a bit of important information. If the foreclosure was just filed on June 13, get an attorney to help you defend it. If you filed for bankruptcy which was discharged then the lender can only collect against the property and not you personally. If the lender... Read more »

answered on Jul 3, 2019
You may still have to pay rent, but you should begin looking for a new place to live. If the foreclosure just began the house likely won't sell for several months. Were you given a 90-day notice by the owner, and does that breach your lease? Either way, your lease is an independent obligation... Read more »

She used to help me with bills. I am now two parents behind on my mortgage and do not know where to turn or what to do. Is it possible to have the garnishment stopped or lowered?

In order to stop the garnishment you may want to consult a bankruptcy attorney about having the debt discharged. On the mortgage you can request assistance from your lender by requesting a loan modification application.
