Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

time limitation on debts

I have been divorced for 4 years. I have recently received a call requesting payment on a debt my ex-wife obtained in our divorce. How can I keep this from going against my credit and do I have to pay it since my name was a part of it at the time of purchase?
