Yes. If one spouse filed an individual bankruptcy case in 2003, then the other spouse can normally file at any time thereafter since they were not a party to their spouse's former case.

If you are currently in bankruptcy with your husband can you come out of bankruptcy and your husband stay in?

The joint Bk would have to be voluntarily dismissed by both parties and then refiled as a single bankruptcy after the required waiting limit for filing is reached. When married couples reside in CP states it is best that they file a joint BK to allow full protection for both. In non CP states where only one spouse is the debtor the best choice is usually for only the debtor spouse to file.

No, if you mean, can you single out this debt to "file bankruptcy on." You file bankruptcy on ALL your creditors. You don't get to pick and choose. But you can certainly include such a debt in bankruptcy.
