What are my options to save my credit if my ex-husband is allowing our former own to be foreclosed on?

My ex-husband received the house and car in our divorce and he had 90 days to refinance them which he has about 30 days left. He however recently told me he is going to quit paying on both of them which affects my credit as well. Can I file bankruptcy?
