California:

I am so frustrated, and tired of attorney's giving me conflicting useless information.

My ex filed bankruptcy (which he lied about assets, 15,000 worth, and the disposal of assets thereof as well) I did not file bankruptcy. He ultimately did so to try to force me to lose or sell the house I owned prior to being married to him. (Which was quit claimed 1/2 interest to him in 84) This didn't work, he ended up interspousal transferring an upside down mortgaged house over to me. I have not filed bankruptcy but have to assume approx. $15,000 in the debts that were ours jointly. My ex sold approx. $5,000 worth of assets without my permission. We only have approx. $11,000. worth of assets free and clear left (of which my father is a third party-owner on approx. $8,000.worth)

The problem I have conflicting information on is this:

Doesn't the Debt of the community property come into play as well as the assets? It seems that if one party skates on obligations to pay debts by B.K. but expects the assets too, while the other party pays, puts a unfair disadvantage to one party.

Please clarify and cite a family code if you could, I am very concerned by this and can't get clear answers
