Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Omitted Credit Card Debt

I filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in 12/89 and just recently was sued for a credit card debt that had been assumed through my divorce in 1988 by my ex-husband. I found out that because he had filed bankruptcy in 1993 they were coming after me to collect. Can this debt still be discharged through my bankruptcy in 1989?
