More details to this question:
In the divorce my ex was awarded both the car and house, but I was never removed from either. Can I be removed now and show no legal obligation to either debit since it was awarded to the ex?

Divorce court orders only affect things between the two spouses. It does not affect obligations you owe to creditors. If you owed an obligation to these creditors before your divorce, then you owe them now. Your ex-husband's filing bankruptcy similarly does not affect your obligation to your creditors.
