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.

How long will the chapter 12 bankruptcy 'stay for co-borrowers' be in effect against you when a debt that your husband filed under is paid off?

I may not understand the question, but assuming you are the co-borrower, then the co-borrower stay is not "against" you but actually is protecting you. A co-borrower stay keeps the creditor from suing the co-borrower so long as the debtor in bankruptcy is paying the debt in full through his or her bankruptcy. So, if your husband paid off the debt in full that you were a co-borrower on, then you don't really need the protection of the co-borrower stay anymore since the creditor is paid in full and is satisfied. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
