Can a married debtor file without the other spouse?

Yes, however your spouse will still be liable for any joint debts. If you file together you will be able to double your exemptions. In certain cases where only one spouse has debts, or one spouse has debts that are not dischargeable, then it might be prudent 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 spouse’s credit report.
