If myex-husband ran updebt on ajoint credit cardafter our divorce, am I liable for the debt?

At the time of the divorce, the joint credit card had a $3.65 credit. He kept the account and was supposed to remove my name from it. He failed to do so and instead ran up 11k on the card. The credit card company will not remove my name from the account. Am I responsible for any of the debt he ran up after the divorce?
