The only option I believe you would have, is to sue your ex for the money you spend paying off his/her financial obligations. It would seem to me, if the person will or can't pay the creditors. It would be highly unlikely you would be able to recover your money either.

Is the second person on a credit card legally responsible to pay the debt?

Maybe. If the "second" person is an actual account holder then he or she is liable for the debt. If the "second" person is an authorized user of the account, he or she is not legally responsible for the debt but that does not mean the creditor will not attempt to collect from the AU. Additionally, married persons living in community property states are generally liable for credit card debt and other debts incurred during the marriage even when only one spouse is the actual account holder.
