You need to speak with an attorney in your jurisdiction. Presumptively, you would only get 50%, but you may be able to file an injured spouse return and get the percentage that you actually paid.

This is a question that may be a matter of local practice. You'll want to consult a bankruptcy attorney in your geographic area.

Where I practice, in Detroit, a non-filing spouse filing a tax return jointly with a filing Chapter 13 debtor will be allowed to retain their 50% of the joint refund.

But mileage may differ in your part of Missouri.
