You would be responsible for any of the debt you originally signed on. When you sign on a debt you have essentially taken responsibility for the amount regardless. In the case of debts that were signed jointly, this means that regardless of what happens to the other party (i.e. your ex) if he is no longer making any payments you are fully responsible to ensure the accounts are paid as originally contracted. However, if you haven’t signed on anything you would not be responsible.
