You can short sell it.  An NY lawyer can help.  So can a local broker experienced in short sales.

You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney as to the advisability of filing chapter 7. Ask whether your assets are exempt, that is, protected from creditors. You are allowed a specified amount of value of your home as a homestead, depending on your age and number of dependents. It appears from your information that you have exempt 401(k) and non-exempt stock.

How am I still responsible for a mortgage after Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Your liability on the debt was discharged unless a Reaffirmation Agreement was signed or an exception to discharge applies. Having an attorney actually look at the docket from your Bankruptcy case, look at the schedules you filed and contact the Mortgage Company is the best way to determine why the Mortgage Company is saying this. There are many potential courses of action depending on what the facts are, including reopening your case to add them as a creditor, or pursuing sanctions for violation of the automatic stay from your case or your ex-spouse's case if the debt is being paid in her plan.
