It's very difficult to file without a lawyer, but it can be done. The US government themselves lay out the process at http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/Bankruptcy/BankruptcyResources/FilingBankruptcyWithoutAttorney.aspx

You might be able to file bankruptcy individually, but the bankruptcy trustee will scrutinize joint assets and income to determine whether they must be included in your individual filing. Therefor, there may be more reasons that the bankruptcy trustee would determine as cause to dismiss your bankruptcy claim. Note that if rejection of your bankruptcy claim is upheld by the bankruptcy court, actually your have only lost your time and expenses to file that particular bankruptcy claim. 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. I found this book in the Colorado Springs public library under 346.078 E42N (Dewey decimal).

What are the steps towards filing bankrupt?
Good question. There is a common misconception that bankruptcy is simple to file for and everyone who does so gets approved. In reality, neither of those are true. Successfully completing a bankruptcy proceeding can be a difficult process. However, there is a good deal of work you must do before you can file for bankruptcy. First, you are required to complete a "means test." This is a complicated calculation that determines your ability to pay your creditors. It also compares your financial status to the average person in your area. If you pass this means test, you are allowed to file a Chapter 7 claim in Bankruptcy court - otherwise, you can only file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy claim. The next step involves undergoing credit counseling. Bankruptcy law requires that you complete this counseling before going through the bankruptcy process. Finally, you can file for bankruptcy. In addition to filing, you must submit a bundle of paperwork with the Bankruptcy court. This paperwork includes information about your income, debts, assets, and personal information.
