Without more information, it is hard to answer that question exactly. The filing date for the divorce is an important marker for describing the marital estate - so things like asset valuation, marital credit card debt, etc. would cut off at the date of filing. BUT if what you are asking is whether your mortgage servicer and your credit card company are going to let you off the hook for debt accrued on jointly held accounts that are accruing debt after the divorce is filed, the answer is likely NO, they will advise you that you and your spouse are both responsible for the debt, and that you should figure out between the two of you who is actually going to pay it.
