Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

my divorce decree states that i have to pay half the credit card debt from the proceeds of the sale of the house. after 3 years of trying to sell in this market, we did sell, but there where no proceeds, we actually lost money.

do i still have to pay the credit cards since there were no proceeds ? the other side says i do because the intent was to pay a martial debt. then why didn't they use that wording?

thank you
