He did not get insurance on the vehicle. He was the driver; I was not in the car.

Unfortunately, you are liable for the accident even though you weren't there because you are the registered owner of the vehicle that caused the accident. It isn't possible to have your name removed from this case.
You can sue your ex-boyfriend for negligence to recover the amount of the judgment against you in the lawsuit.
