It depends on the treatment of the secured claim in the 11. Likely the debtor is trying to save the house and wants to keep current with the mortgage payments and pay the arrears through the Plan in an 11. You may want to review your options with an attorney.

What can I do if my ex husband is filing bankruptcy before my name is removed from the mortgage?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Helene Ellenbogen P.S.
The mortgage is likely not included in the bankruptcy since it is a secured debt. What did your decree say about removing you from the mortgage? Was he required to refinance by a certain date? If all the decree ordered was that he pay the mortgage, then you are stuck with this. You may be able to go back to court to have the house transferred to you, pay any arrearages on the mortgage and save it from the bankruptcy assuming it's included.

Where can I find the most comprehensive information about filing my own bankruptcy?

I'd recommend "Chapter 7 Bankruptcy," by Nolo Press. I believe you should hire an attorney but if you want to do it yourself, Nolo Press generally produces the best self-help books.
