I would make a call to the credit card company and if necessary an attorney so that you can make sure that this is taken off of your credit rating.
Good luck,

ps... trust me, you arent the only one who has made horrible decisions when it comes to deadbeats.
good post and agreed..now that you have formally been divorced, you can cut th threads regards your CC etc...but, IF you did not protest his use of the card until he had used it after your divorce you might be on dicey grounds they will say you never took action to stop or drop the account there- by giving tacit approval regards its use......that sux I know....personally I would call the company ask to speak to a supv. explain that at this point the debt. will never get paid off and try to negotiate ...they do negotiate and you may ultimately be on the hook for the 4K but may be able to get it reduced and will have to pay it off yourself to get your credit cleared...call Equifax also, they have good advice on how and what to do to clear and re-build your fica rating...
