Answer

You have to check the case. If he filed for 7 or 13 and everything was discharged, you may not sue him to obtain a judgment. If the case was dismissed, you may have the opportunity to sue him and obtain a judgment. Check with a local bankruptcy or collections attorney. The attorney will be able to look up the case for you and discuss your rights, if any.
