You should talk with your bankruptcy attorney who helped you file a Chapter 13. You can modify your existing Chapter 13 by filing a motion with the court. The question is, why did you file a Chapter 13 instead of a Chapter 7? If your income was too high because of your combined income, you may qualify for a Chapter 7 once you separate. If you filed a Chapter 13 to keep a house, then you may want to just let the house go. If you want to get divorced, staying married because of your Chapter 13 doesn't make a lot of sense. Your bankruptcy attorney is likely willing to give you a free consultation about options now that your circumstances have changed.
