Hi Claire
You seem to have made a very mature decision about your future and should be commended about owning up to your difficulties when you are having such a rotten time in your personal relationship.
Unless your employer has a specific policy about legal secretaries being made bankrupt (very doubtful) then your job should be safe. Keep quiet about the whole thing - you are not obliged to tell anyone in the company about your situation, and it is very unlikely that they will see the (very small) bankruptcy advertisement in the local paper.
If they do, be proud to tell them that you have owned up to your responsibilities and wish to make a fresh start.
Good luck with everything.
