Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Texas

Divorce in California with Texas Bankruptcy

I filed bankruptcy in Texas with my spouse in 1998. In 2001, i filed divorce in California. Divorce is final as of June 5, 2003. I did a stupid thing, i said my ex can pay all the bankruptcy and no child support till bankruptcy is paid off. I changed my mind. I want him to pay child support now. He says that if I do that I will have to pay have of the bankruptcy. Is this true? What can I do? I have no job and wouldn't be able to pay anything on the bankruptcy.
