As secondary borrower on the two credit cards, if you file for bankruptcy he will still be responsible for the shortfall on the two accounts he is listed on.
As well I would suggest that if you owe money to the institution you currently have the joint account at you would be best served to open a new account wiht an institution you do not owe money to.
