i can surely understand how upset you might be. This is not an easy question to give guidance on with out seeing your divorce agreement and knowing a little more about things. Was the business considered marital or separate property in the divorce? If the business is in his name only then the creditor will have no right to go after you but it may be considered part of the marital debt between you. Please get help. Good luck.
