Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Can I file bankcruptcy without my spouse

I borrowed money from credit cards and friends to meet margin calls for the stock market account. Eventually, it almost 90% wiped out, now left over about $5000.00.

It is a joint account with my spouse.

Credit cards are my personal not joint.

We do not have any asset or property.

We filed joint income tax.

Can I filed bankcruptcy without involving my spouse.

Your answer would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes you can. I need to know a few more facts to make sure your wife won't be forced into bankruptcy by the creditors committee.
