The question

Am I personally or partially obligated to repay the commercial debt incurred by my bankrupt company, and how do I estimate the share of my imprisoned partner from this debt, knowing that his large financial withdrawals were the main reason for the company's escalating debts, and that demanding payment from him or his family has become impossible?

The answer

The liability of two partners in a contract-based company is unified. Any creditor has the right to demand payment from either of them, and then the one who paid the debt can seek reimbursement from his partner. The creditor must grant the insolvent person respite until he becomes solvent.
