If a co defendant has received a bankruptcy stay in our case, can I still get a fair trial without him?

Whether a party is an indispensable party is not a bankruptcy question, per se. In this case you should have your lawyer seek a stay of the action against you until such time as your co-defendant can participate in a trial. A finding of fraud would render the plaintiff's claims against your co-defendant non-dischargeable and the plaintiff's lawyer should be considering filing an adversary action in the bankruptcy court or seeking relief from stay. Meanwhile, your lawyer needs to do whatever he/she can to postpone trial so your defense can be asserted.

Yes you can file separately from your husband however you need to disclose his income and all community assets. So his retirement, accounts, must also be disclosed.

If you're in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy plan, can you file a Chapter 13 instead?

If you are in Chapter 7, there is no Plan. A Plan is part of a Chapter 11, a Chapter 12 and a Chapter 13, but not in a Chapter 7. If you file Chapter 7, you may be eligible to convert to a Chapter 13 and propose a Plan. The details of your budget will determine whether or not this is an appropriate choice.
