Did ex-wife sign the card application or otherwise agree to pay for the charges? If she did, then, she has a liability. Since the creditors were not parties to the divorce agreement, they are not bound by its terms. If you need additional help, call me at 305.940.8080
Note if the obligations was set out as alimony the debts, as owed to you may not be dischargeable. I doubt that is the case.
