Welcome totuyet,

You haven't filed bankruptcy jointly with your ex-husband. In that case, his bankruptcy filing will not affect you. However, he will be discharged of his liabilities regrading the mortgage on the property. In that case, if your name is on the mortgage and the property, then you would be solely liable for paying off the mortgage dues.

the lender will hold the lien on the property it's discharged in the his bankruptcy filing. there are chances that the lender may ask you to refinance the loan and pay off the dues.
