Thank you Mark.  Exactly.  You need to speak with several lawyers, most have free first consultations. If you don't have the attorney fees, that does not mean you cannot afford to file.

What if I can't pay a judgment on a credit card debt, how can I get out of it, can I file bankruptcy, can I dispute it?

The creditors unfortunately are not bound by divorce decrees or separation agreements. If your name was on the debts including as a cosigner or co-debtor, you would still owe on the debt. You may want to consider filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you could then have this unsecured debt discharged in the Chapter 7 (it does not matter if a judgment against you has been entered or not).

Can the lean holder file suit against the co-signee?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
In California, most mortgages are resolved by non-judicial foreclosure (sale of the property at auction). By taking that action, the lender does not have a deficiency claim against a co-signer. However, if there was a junior lien (2nd or 3rd) that was eliminated in a foreclosure, they could sue the co-signer. The co-signer should see an attorney so that the facts of this particular matter can be analyzed.
