You could sue if she promised to pay for half. Up to $7,500 in small claims, higher in superior court.

Yes, you can file a separate action against her. It sounds like you both signed the agreements. If that is true, you are both responsible for the debts BUT the company is going to pursue the one who is the easiest to get to pay the debt. You might be wise to pay the debt and consider it a bargain. Now you know it could have been a disastrous relationship. Considering what it costs to get a divorce, you probably got a bargain.

If she signed the contract she's also responsible. Depending on amount you can try to sue her in small claims.
