Can we keep it out of the bankruptcy as my son has made all the payments for the past year and a half and never been late or anything. That is my main worry right now. If it turns out he will be affected then we are NOT filing. We will lose everything before I let our issues affect him. Especially when he has kept up the payments and all.
I would appreciate any advice.

As long as your son is the one paying for the car, it does not need to be included in the bankruptcy, You may need a letter from him.
To file a Chapter 7, your mortgage needs to be up to date if you want to keep it.
With a Chapter 13, you would have to repay a portion of your debts through the courts. I think that you can catch up late payments through the plan. You would be expected to keep the mortgage current.
