It can be complicated, as the assets of the marital estate are typically subject to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court. It may be appropriate for a divorcing couple to seek leave from the bankruptcy court to permit the divorce court to divide their assets and obligations in relation to their debts, subject to approval of the divorce court's order by the bankruptcy court. It would likely be helpful for at least one spouse in the divorcing couple to use a divorce lawyer who is familiar with bankruptcy issues.
