§ 12-831. Joint debtors or sureties may have contribution or

repayment.

When property, liable to an execution against several persons,

is sold thereon, and more than a due proportion of the judgment is

laid upon the property of one of them, or one of them pays, without

a sale, more than his proportion, he may regardless of the nature of

the demand upon which the judgment was rendered, compel contribution

from the others; and when a judgment is against several, and is upon

an obligation of one of them, as security for another, and the

surety pays the amount, or any part thereof, either by sale of his

property or before sale, he may compel repayment from the principal;

in such case, the person so paying or contributing, is entitled to

the benefit of the judgment, to enforce contribution or repayment,

if within ten (10) days after his payment he file with the clerk of

court where the judgment was rendered, notice of his payment and

claim to contribution or repayment. Upon a filing of such notice,

the clerk shall make an entry thereof in the margin of the docket.
