If she was satisfactorily discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, you can not recover. Unless you have a judgment against her that you renewed before the 10 year prescriptive period, you could not recover anyway. Money owed cannot be pursued after three years unless suit was filed and a judgment taken.
