Certainly. Your spouse does not have to be part of the BK filing. However if there are joint debts, or if you live in a community property state the best option is for both to file.
If you are referring to Hillary and Bill Clinton, neither of them have, singly or as husband and wife, ever filed for bankruptcy.
Yes; however, you may be precluded from receiving a discharge.
You will be responsible for the whole debt since you are the only one capable of paying the debt after your wife's bankruptcy.

If both persons were sued and a judgment awarded but only the husband filed bankruptcy and included the debt; the judgment can still be executed against any non-exempt property belonging to the wife and perhaps jointly owned property as well. The legal presumption is that the debt is still owed because it was jointly incurred.

An excellent book for detailed perspective on filing chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy: "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition (published in 2009 by Nolo), by Stephen Elias.

Assuming the petitioner was the ex-wife who received the inheritance, the divorce court order still stands, and the ex-wife may file a contempt action in divorce court to have the ex-husband pay the ex-wife the amount used to pay the debts. He may even be liable for some or all the costs of the bankruptcy if his failure to pay the debts led to the bankruptcy.
