If you have an attorney for your divorce, discuss this with her/him. When a bankruptcy action is filed, it places an automatic stay on all state court actions. That means that the PA court cannot proceed in your divorce action until either the bankruptcy has been completed or dismissed, or the bankruptcy court lifts it's stay at the request of the bankrupt (you.) You should also speak with a bankruptcy attorney about filing but be sure you discuss the impact on your divorce. Sometimes I'm told by clients that the bankruptcy attorney told then the bankruptcy wouldn't affect the divorce but that's not true.
