Filing bankruptcy alone if married

Good day, I would like to know if it is possible for me to file bankruptcy on just myself alone. My credit has fallen really bad starting two years ago when I stopped working outside the home. I started working again but inside the home however, I got really behind in bills that are just in my name alone (credit cards, student loan, and personal loan). My husband at one point was able to help me out until his job started losing business. We are both able to maintain however it is to the point where I am not making enough to carry those bills on my own anymore and I am finding myself digging a deeper hole than before. I would like to know if at all possible could a spouse file bankruptcy alone and if both incomes required to determined if filing bankruptcy.
