You have the right to file for bankruptcy at any time, regardless of your spouse’s actions. I should warn you though, if you don’t discuss it (warn) your spouse before you do so you might complicate the divorce and that will end up costing you more in legal fees.

If you do file, you no longer have the right to sell the house. In stead your trustee and your spouse will handle the sale. When a trustee is involved in a sale the proceeds (money received) is usually lower…

Go and see a trustee, but I suspect they will strongly recommend that you tell your spouse what you are thinking of doing so that your spouse can plan accordingly.
