Yes, you can file a bankruptcy without your spouse if you are not residing together. You should discuss the specifics with a bankruptcy attorney. Consider asking if any debt will be excluded from the bankruptcy, whether your spouse's income will be considered and if you qualify for bankruptcy on your own. Also, if the debt was incurred during the marriage, you will want to discuss whether the creditor can pursue your spouse for the debt after you file. Talking to a bankruptcy attorney will clear up a lot of issues for you and get you on a path to handling your debt.
