filed bankruptcy and now they
are coming after me to pay

Re: divorce
The short answer is probably. The creditors don't care where they get their money. If you had a legal obligation to pay them and your ex husband filed bankruptcy even though the Decree stated he would pay the debt, the creditor(s)are not bound by your divorce decree. Sorry!
