Can a married debt file without the other spouse?
Yes, but your spouse will still be liable for any joint
debts. If you file together you will be able to double your
exemptions. In some cases where only one spouse has debts,
or one spouse has debts that are not dischargeable then it
might be advisable to have only one spouse file. If the spouses
have joint debts, the fact that one spouse discharged the
debt may show on the other spouses credit report.
If you still have questions you can schedule a free consultation with a bankruptcy attorney.
