A divorce decree does not take you off the debt! The decree may assign who is going to pay the debt off, but you are still legally responsible if the other party doesn't pay.
In order to get off the debt you will need to contact the creditor and provide proof that you did not sign for those accounts and that the signatures are forgeries OR the easier method is to have your ex refinance these debts in his name only either through new credit cards and transferring the balance or through a debt consolidation loan. But I think the creditor will tell you at this point that they will only remove you if it is paid off

A husband signing a wife's name may appear to automatically be forgery and by definition probably is. However, if it was discussed, used for marital expenses or otherwise marital debt the fact of the signature may not be the key.
