How can you pay off a debt your ex is responsible for in the divorce decree to free your credit and keep them legally obligated to repay you?

The only option I believe you would have, is to sue your ex for the money you spend paying off his/her financial obligations. It would seem to me, if the person will or can't pay the creditors. It would be highly unlikely you would be able to recover your money either.
