From Bankrate:

Splitting a case or the "division of a joint case" can cost Chapter 7 filers $220 and Chapter 13 filers $150. This typically occurs between married couples.

"The statue permits a married couple to file a joint case," says Greer. "From time to time a situation comes up where, for example, a member of the couple determines they may not need to be a part of the bankruptcy case, so the cases are split."
