Generally, there are only 2 methods to incur liability on credit card or similar debt, being the original borrower or agreeing to be jointly responsible as a coborrower or guarantor. If your name is not on any of the debt, you are not liable merely because you own joint assets.

I trust this answers your question, and you are welcome to contact me on a free initial basis.
