It would depend what type of bankruptcy he files and who is ahead of you as secured creditors. In most cases I would think he would not be liable for future payments.

I would check with your lawyer, but I believe you can file as one of his creditors during his bankruptcy and get some of the money back. I'm not sure if you can charge him the legal fees it will take to get in as one of his creditors.
