IANAL but I think it depends on the break up. If you resigned from the company then that means you don't have any legal control of the funds. If you are still a valid officer of the company than paying debts you owe shouldn't be an issue. Not paying the offshore devs could also theoretically lead to a lawsuit. A lawsuit for not being paid is an easier lawsuit to win than suing a business partner for paying valid expenses the company had accrued. But you should definitely talk to a lawyer.

  If you are actively going through bankruptcy there are usually restrictions on payment. You can get in trouble if your company has a lot of debts and you "pay" your uncle a million dollars for a bs job or you gives yourself a bonus. But paying devs that built something for you in the ordinary course of business is not really going to get you in trouble in any but the most extreme circumstances.
