I’m in the process of a divorce. We have a vehicle in both of our names. My ex is keeping that car. It is a new car and I already have a car payment plus I would not be able to afford his car payment.

If the credit is in both names then no. He should want to pay the car so he can get to work and back.

Ask him to refinance it in his name or hold you harmless for the debt in your judgment. The car company may deny the refinance but its worth trying.
