If your name is on the gas bill for the gas that you use, then you should pay it - it's the right thing to do, morally. Once you're paid, the gas company will turn your gas back on and you will ave your gas.

Once you get that sorted out, you might want to consider getting the full divorce so you don't have to deal with problems like this in the future.
