If I file chapter 7, will my husband be responsible for my debts. Or is divorce a better option?

If your husband is responsible for paying any of your debts, divorce won't make any difference to his responsibility to pay the creditors. However, any debt that is made in your name alone, other than medical debts, is your and yours alone, so if you filed bankruptcy, the creditors would not legally be able to seek payment from him.

If my lawyer did not include my car lease in my chapter 7, what should I do?

The car lender is lying to you about taking the car if your payments are current. And it is too late to obtain a reaffirmation, which by law must be submitted to the court before the discharge is entered. You should have read your entire bankruptcy petition before it was filed and let your lawyer know that a creditor was missing, if in fact it was missing. Look at Schedules D or G of your bankruptcy paperwork to determine whether this debt was included. If not included, it is now too late to make any changes. Talk to your own lawyer about the repercussions of this mistake of yours.
