Question

If me and my spouse file married jointly but she is expecting a 1099C next year for canceled debt will we still file the same even though the debt is in her name

That will be a decision for the two of you.   You can choose to file a joint return or file separately if you want to.   The 1099C in her name certainly would not prevent you from filing a joint return.   Married couples often have income,  assets or debts in only one name; you can still file a joint return if you want to.
