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?

Omitted Credit Card Debt
