My fiance and i broke up. I was the primary holder to a visa. Chris had a secondary card. Now that we are not together, how do I go about legally making him resonsible for his charges on the card.

You probably cannot make him responsible unless you file suit against him. As the person who applied for the card, you remain responsible despite the breakup of your relationship.
