My husband and I are on our way to a divorce and he wants me to sign a short sale form because he filed bankruptcy and I filed mines about a month ago but due to circumstances could not attend the hearing and it was closed and now I must wait till October to re-open it and now the house will be in foreclosure on May 15th, he said if he gets a short sale on the property (which is in my name) it would not affect me in any way.
I've heard from many people that I would get hit with taxes and possibly the rest of the loan if the banks decides to do so I was just looking for a definite answer before I fall in a hole signing.

Thank you !
Answer
Hire or consult with an attorney to verify what is going to happen and its impact. A short sale can cause you to have phantom 1099 income due to the forgiveness of the debt in part.
