Yes. Married people can file individually. The marriage actually has nothing to do with it though. If you filed, no matter what, you can't file chapter 7 again for 8 years, provided you received a discharge. He can file anytime he wants. If you have any joint debt, you may want to consider Chapter 13. Take a look at it. You can file a chapter 13, just not a chapter 7.

Can you file chapter 7 again if you filed bankruptcy in 2001?

Yes, but new bankruptcy reform will become effective on Oct 17, 2005. Some previous filings may or may not be deemed retroactive as to when they can be filed, as the new law will change the time frame to eight years. It will also become very difficult to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if the debtor has any disposable income. IRS guidelines will be used to determine the type of bankruptcy that will be allowed.

My wife filed chapter 7 in 1989 before we were married We had to file chapter 7 in 2001 is there a law in Washington state stating that she can't file again?

No. The Federal restrictions sill apply. She can file again after a certain period. Bankruptcy is not part of financial planning. Under the bankruptcy laws effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago. The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago.
