All may not be lost if it's outlined in your divorce settlement. And it's possible that they should have removed your name if it was requested in writing. They may have asked for a copy of the divorce. Have you called the CC company to ask why they will not remove your name?
IMO, you should first consult a local attorney to see if you can get a suit filed on him and possible a judgement PRIOR to his filing for BK. If you get a judgement, he won't be protected from the debt but your fighting against time and it will be difficult. If its part of the divorce then you can get a judgement quicker and he maybe held in contempt.
If he lives far away from you then you may want your local attorney to consult or hire a local attorney where he lives. Either way, you need an attorney and quickly. Best of luck to you and let us know how it works out for you.

Thanks. I'm interviewing attorneys up where he lives. He's about 4 hours north of where I live. The cc companies won't release me because my credit score is light years better than his is. I can already sue him for breach of contract because of a couple other issues in our divorce decree that he's not living up to. My concern is that if I get a judgement against him, and I don't see why I won't since he'd be hard pressed to say that our decree is unfair since he wrote it himself and took it to court all alone, that the judgement would be wiped out if he made it part of his bankruptcy. I guess I'll just have to see what the attorney's up that way have to say about it.

Thanks so much! Happy Easter!
