Divorce, bankruptcy won't eliminate liability

Q: Dear Rick: I got divorced a little over two years ago. At the time, my husband owed a substantial amount on his charge card. Under the terms of the divorce, he was responsible for that debt.

Last week, I got a letter from the charge card company claiming that I am responsible for my ex-husband's debt. I have not contacted the charge company yet, but I wanted to get your opinion.
