How can I settle my credit card dispute from my marriage?

My ex and I got a joint credit card shortly before we got married. We filed for a summary dissolution last year and at the time, the credit card balance was under the 6 grand that is the max amount of debt you can have together based on California law. In oru property settlement agreement, we signed off on it by saying that husband and wife will pay off the joint credit card jointly until it is paid off. Upon final payment, account will be closed out. Since then more charges have been put on it until it finally got closed out. Now there is a balance on it over 6 grand and he refuses to pay on it. I%26#039;m paying on it alone and I%26#039;m wondering... Because the property settlement agreement didn%26#039;t say how much each would pay or that it would be split in half, if he just pays one cent, does that mean he did his part and I have to pay the rest? Is it illegal to have put more charges on it after the filing? Or do you just need to meet the debt max amt at filing time?
