Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Tennessee

Can pre marital debt be included in a filing

I married last year and in this period of time I went from having about 7-8K in debt to close to 30K with all late fees, interest etc. What I want to really know is. Can previous premarital debt incurred by my spouse be included when we file for ch. 7
