Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Ohio

Adversarial proceedings and joint chapter 7

Debtor filed a joint petition for Chapter 7. I am a creditor and consider filing adversarial proceedings to challenge the debtor�s discharge. But it is a joint petition, and I have no claim against the debtor�s spouse, only against debtor. Should I be concerned about their joint status when I file adversaries against debtor? Motion to split their joint case cost $750; no way can I afford this.

Maybe debtor can, but I don't know. Please let me know your thoughts.

thank you so much in advance
