Probably not, since none of the bills are in her name.

If all the debt was incurred after your separation, 1992, and your soon to be ex was not a co-debtor on any of the accounts, then she would not be liable.

If, however, she is a co-debtor on any account, then the creditor may pursue her for the full amount.
