I can answer that generally yes he can file, pretty much anyone can file, but whether it's a good idea and whether it will accomplish your specific goals will depend on more details. Chapter 13 is too complicated for individuals without practical experience in handling these cases to successfully do it on their own. Please. I strongly urge you. go visit a local competent attorney who has handled several of Chapter 13s, someone who has been around the block with these before, to ensure best results. About 99% of pro se Chapter 13s end up in dismissal. I assume you filed this bankruptcy to protect property or because chapter 7 was not an option or at least not a good option for one of several reasons. With so much at stake paying for proper representation could save not only stress and headaches but money and loss of property.
