Am I responsible for my (ex)spouse's debts?

That varies from state to state. Some states are "community property" states where any debt held by one spouse is considered a debt of the other spouse or ex-spouse. The latter only applies if the debt was incurred while still legally married. Check with your attorney to determine whether or not your state falls into this category.
