Re: Responsibility in final judgment...
Being joint and several, you can collect the full amount from one or the full amount from all. The non-bankrupt person can discuss with the bankrupt person how, when, and if he/she will reimburse him/her for paying the other's share. Your concern is only to collect the judgment you were awarded.
