You can't. You are still responsible to them no matter what your divorce decree states.

Although I have to agree with David, it never hurts to try and discourage them from coming after you. Send them a copy of the decree and state you are not responsible per the Order of the court.
On a second note, file contempt/enforcement against your ex to make him refinance the loan and have you removed.
