This is a common mistake in divorces.

Even if one party agrees to assume a debt, creditors, since they are not a party to the divorce decree are not obliged to agree to only hold that person responsible for the debt.

If you don't have the assets to pay the loans and he does not or will not, the only other way to remove your from liability on the loans is to obtain a discharge in bankruptcy (assuming you qualify) See a bankruptcy attorney.
