Joint Possession Happy Camper,
I did a search and found part of your answer.
When two people jointly possess one thing, you can use one appostrophe: "Tim and Jenny's car" Use apostrophes twice when the people possess things separately: "Tim's and Jenny's cars"
If one word is a possessive adjective, then both words should be possessive, so "It's my and Jenny's car"
but I think "mine and Jenny's car" is wrong...
I'll keep looking for a better explanation...
