If this house is underwater, then even if it is sold there will still be a considerable debt, and your girlfriend and her ex are both liable for it all.
correct: if ex is broke, they may come after gf for 100% of the shortfall.Given the straits that both of these people are in, what this means is that if you marry her the lender can and will come after you.
