How to make ex pay

In 2003 I got a divorce, in it my ex agreed to pay off a California State Franchise Tax Board lien of $3,000. The lien has since grown to $12,000 and is still on my credit because the debt was in both of our names.

I understand that to California, I am still obligated to pay this debt and they could garnish my wages. I know that I could pay it and then sue him for the money, but I do not have that kind of money.

Is there any way to force him to take care of this obligation?
