If you've placed money into an account while you are married, the account must usually be split upon divorce. It doesn't matter whose name is on the account or who earned the money. If you earned the money after your divorce, your old spouse has no claim.

If you owe her money, it does. If you hid the account from her during the divorce, she does.
