The court is probably still going to have a hearing. At the hearing, you will have to present evidence supporting your requests. There is not really such a thing as "giving up his rights" except in an adoption or in a dependency and neglect hearing to terminate parental rights.

You will likely be held responsible for any deficiency (loan balance minus sale proceeds after repo). Therefore, you should try to avoid having this happen. You may have some recourse against him depending on what your divorce orders say.
