In most cases no, on a joint debt if one party files bankruptcy and is discharged the other party is liable for the entire remaining balance. This makes filing bankruptcy little protection from foreclosure, repossession, and other actions credits would still be able to attempt on the other party.

If I file bankruptcy can I add my mother's creditor with my bankruptcy?
Just because she is your mother, it does not mean that you are automatically liable for her debts. When you file for bankruptcy, you can include only those debts which you are liable either personally or as a co-signor or joint debts. If you are not a co-signor and you include your mother debt in your bankruptcy, you will be committing fraud and your petition will be dismissed. Once a bankruptcy petition is dismissed for fraud, there may be restrictions on future filings. Your mother will continue to be liable for the debt. If she is unable to pay the debt, she can file for bankruptcy to discharge the debt. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel.
