A married person living in a community property state (Arizona is a CP state) can file for BK without the other spouse. However, all debts and assets incurred during the marriage are considered equally owned and owed by both parties. Therefore, depending upon the status of the property and/or assets they may not be exempt from creditor action. Likewise the non filing spouse could be held accountable for debts owed even if the accounts were not held in his or her name.
