Yes, but keep in mind, the bankruptcy stay lasts for only 120 days, less if your case is dismissed before that for whatever reason.

Yes, you may file bankruptcy separately; but, you will only halt the process temporarily unless you can cure the defaulted amount.

Being married will not prevent you from filing bankruptcy, but just filing bankruptcy may not give you the help you suspect unless you have experienced representation. You ought to be checking online reviews for the best bankruptcy lawyer in your community.
