My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Michigan/Florida

My dirt bag ex sold his company for over 27 million 6 years ago, hid millions over seas, lost millions in the stock market, and recently renigged on a settlement agreement which called for him to pay off the balance on the mortage on my home within 10 years of our agreement.

He has an industrial building that he has recently forclosed on (he owes 3 million). He keeps asking for 6 months relief of his obligation to pay my mortage and keeps stalling on a new payment agreement that would include new callateral (he fixed the documents that originally had me on the deed on the building he is now foreclosing on, and took me off the deed with a slick move just days after the agreement was filed, All these years I thought I was on the deed and meanwhile he was refinancing multiple times on this property)

I think he is stalling because he wants to see if the bank will pursue him vigorously in regards to this foreclosure. If yes, he will file for bankruptcy and attempt to include his debt to me in his discharge motion.

What does the law say about divorce agreements, domestic support obligations, and banruptcy claims? Could he get the mortage obligation discharged? What recourse would/do I have?

Is there anything I can do in the meantime while he is waiting for the banks decision to pursue his foreclosure? Getting a judement is a no brainer as the settlement agreement is solid and very clear. He owes me this money and I would/could definitely win a judgement. I'm trying to avoid that though in hopes of getting a new agreement, with solid collateral (this time) so that if he renigs on the agreement again, I can claim the collateral. All I keep hearing is how hard it is to collect on a judgement. Is that true? If banruptcy is a definite for him, shouldn't I just get the judgement asap and be first in line? Or is it truly a pain to collect on a judgement?

Thanks for any advice and help that can be offered. I can't believe I'm in this position.
