Section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code describes who is eligible to be a debtor in a Chapter 7 case. Basically, there are upper limits to permissible income, which is no bar for you. So yes, you can file a Ch. 7 petition without joining your husband, and you don't need his permission, either.

Bankruptcy Courts do not issue warrants: they are not criminal courts.
Check with the clerk of the bankruptcy courts in SC and see if they have anything on file for you.
is jointly owned by one debtor and another person not named in the filing, is that vehicle exempt from being collected?
answered on Mar 20, 2020
No, it is still listed as an asset. You own 1/2. If you use your exemptions to protect your interest, you may be able to protect it.
answered on Mar 10, 2020
You don’t even have to file a motion. All those things are already exempt from discharge under the Code!!!

bankruptcy was discharged over 10 years ago and now bills have started to come in again demanding payment. can they do this after the matter had been written off
answered on Jan 22, 2020
Depends on whether the 2nd mortgage lien was avoided. If it was, then no. If it wasn’t, then they can move against the property but they cannot get a money judgment against the debtors.
