A: If you filed for divorce in 2016, my first question is why hasn't that been finalized? Nothing should take that long unless you have been trying to reconcile. Next, with the divorce petition you both should have signed an ATI (automatic temporary injunction), which in simple terms freezes assets and prevents the other party from impacting your debt. If your spouse added you to a credit card, then I would file a motion to compel saying they must follow the ATI and have your name removed. If that wasn't enough, I would file a Contempt.
