http://www.loan-house.info/2009/09/choos… while credit trauma is correct the fact is you cannot service the debt even in a chapter 13 filing and the re-affirmation will not go through with out a job.
The bank will foreclose and the IRS and student loans will not be discharged in any event I would visit http://diylegalinfo.com/bankruptcy_Links.html They have a lot of good information on bankruptcy questions.

http://diylegalinfo.com/bankruptcy_Links.html Chapter 13 can stop a foreclosure as past due mortgage payments can be included in the filing. Chapter 13 does not discharge debt. It is basically a court supervised consolidation/repayment plan that your creditors must accept. Student loan debt can also be included in a Chapter 13 filing....Again, it does not discharge the debt. I don't believe that the amount you owe to the IRS can be included in a Chapter 13 filing.

Chapter 13 is only useful if you can afford to pay all this debt back under the new terms of the repayment plan. A bankruptcy attorney can give guidance on what the monthly payment might be. FYI: Chapter 7 is the version of BK that does discharge debts...but it's not very useful in your case as you can't include past due mortgage payments or student loans.

Just a thought: For sure...try to get roommates or renters to help with the mortgage and prevent foreclosure...If this falls through.....letting the house foreclose might be the lesser evil for you. As bad as a foreclosure is...once it's over...it's over..and you can move on and start over. With Chapter 13...the court basically takes control of your finances for 3 - 5 years....It's not a fun process...it can be highly stressful. If your employment picture does not improve, then foreclosure is probably the best option for you...but seek advise from a BK attorney before you make a decision. "Depending on individual circumstances, if a debtor wishes to keep certain secured property (such as an automobile or home), he or she may decide to “reaffirm” the debt. A reaffirmation is an agreement between the debtor and the creditor that the debtor will remain liable and will pay all or a portion of the money owed, even though the debt would otherwise be discharged in the bankruptcy. In return, the creditor promises that it will not repossess or take back the automobile or other property so long as the debtor continues to pay the debt. Secured creditors may retain some rights to seize property securing an underlying debt even after a discharge is granted.

If the debtor decides to reaffirm a debt, he or she must do so before the discharge is entered. The debtor must sign a written reaffirmation agreement and file it with the court."

That said, a bankruptcy is only going to push the payments you haven't made into a re-payment plan that you have to pay back, so it's not going to help you much. What you need is a loan modification and you are a prime candidate. Contact your mortgage lender immediately and get the process started.
