Only to the extent of your homestead exemption ( and your spouses iexemption if filing too).
I filed in sept 2019 and it was discharged in Jan 2020 however when I filed my taxes and indicated direct deposit the IRS sent my refund to my attorneys office in the form of a check. Will it be the same for this stimulus check or will it be direct deposited as indicated on my tax return?

If your bankruptcy was discharged, meaning an order of discharge was entered and usually closed after its entry, then the trustee cant reopen to take stimulus check. ALSO, it is a post petition asset, so it should be no issue

If they obtained the default after you filed bankruptcy, then you may have a claim.
My sister's family owns 4/5th of the house and I own 1/5th I need to file bankruptcy on about $66000 in credit cards but I don't want to loose the house of my parents. Will I have to sell the house to file bankruptcy?

It depends on the value and equity in the house and whether you can protect the equity with your exemptions. Consult a competent bankruptcy practitioner before you do anything.

No. The child support lien makes child support the senior lien.

Likely no, bc the child support liens are senior. Consult an experienced attorney who can help you protect the property.

The USDA loan will probably be non-dischargeable. You can file separately without your husband.

Yes, the filing of the bankruptcy will stop the garnishment and may even result of the sheriff returning any funds he has not turned over to the judgment creditor

You sign the contract after the bankruptcy is filed, making it a non dischargeable post petition debt. It is not misleading at all. You are not required to pay any attorney fee until after the bankruptcy is filed.
