A: You need to retain an experienced mortgage foreclosure defense and matrimonial attorney to handle this situation for you. Your name will NOT come off the Judgment. However, if you do not file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy you can be forced to pay it. Pick the best lawyer you can find and remember one rule: a good lawyer is generally never cheap, and a cheap lawyer is generally never good so don't choose based on price.
