If you signed the car loan, you are going to be held responsible for repayment. There are two ways to get your name off the car loan. Pay it or file bankruptcy as your ex-wife did. Hire an attorney to review the decree that awarded the car to her. Did it order her to pay the debt? If you have to pay off the loan, perhaps you need to file a proof of claim in her bankruptcy.
