If a creditor withdrew their claim after I objected to the claim can that person now sue me in a local court?

No. The creditor is limited to going through bankruptcy court to collect on the debt from you. If the creditor has a lien on some property (such as a car loan or a mortgage), the creditor can enforce that lien in local court but you're not personally liable. If the creditor does attempt to sue you personally in local court, you can defend the claim in the local court or file an action to defeat the claim in the bankruptcy court. Some local judges aren't expert in bankruptcy law, so I usually recommend that my clients defend in bankruptcy court.

No. They can only pursue their claim in bankruptcy court. While the bankruptcy continues, they are barred by the Automatic Stay from purusing you in State Court. After you receive your discharge, the Discharge Injunction (which replaces the Automatic Stay), will prevent them from purusing you in State Court.

Either spouse can file their own petition without the other spouse. However, to claim certain exemptions the non-filer must file a spousal waiver. Consult with an attorney as to the specific facts in your case.
