Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

Divorce

Can husband tell creditors to seek payment from soon-to-be ex-wife, for all bills with her mailing address listed? Even if he is the one who obtained the loan/credit account , etc.? He has established separate residence, but the children are living with her in the original house. He is trying to walk away from past debt, including a massive 1st and 2nd mortgage and sizeable credit card debt.
