It depends on how the plea agreements are written. If you were ordered to only pay a specified percentage of restitution, say 50%, then that is all you will have to pay. However if the plea agreement does not specifically spell out that you are only responsible for paying a percentage, you may still be on the hook for the entire restitution amount if your co-defendant has not paid his or her part.

The wording of your and your co-defendant's plea agreement controls this issue.
