Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Ex H bought a new car one month before filing divorce (in his name only - financing, title, registration, etc.). He then filed Chapter 7, including the vehicle, but reaffirming the debt with lender. He now claims I am responsible for 1/2 of the debt as community property. I never even drove his car! Am I liable for this debt?
