I assume your husband received a Chapter 7 discharge. If only your husband filed the bankruptcy, his discharge of debts does not relieve you of your obligation for joint debts.

Yes you can file bankruptcy again if it has been at least 8 years since your prior bankruptcy filing. This is for a Chapter 7 or a 13. You can file a Chapter 13 if you were previously discharged in a Chapter 7 in less than those 8 years.

I am not licensed to practice law in your state and therefore strongly suggest you contact an attorney in your area who can give you specific advice.
