You need to determine whether your husband received proceeds from sale of the assets (the house, cars, etc.), regardless of who had legal title? If the assets were not sold and still remain, has there been change in title from his family to his name?
What you may or may not be entitled to recover is dependent on what state you live in. Possible that if assets were sold and husband received money a court would need to determine and assess his credibility and impact for a determination that he is/was attempting to hide assets or otherwise mislead the court regarding spousal obligations and marital debt. Your Divorce Decree is an order as to what each party is entitled to, how property is to be divided, etc. If the property titled to his family members was not addressed in the Decree of Divorce you may not have recourse, or not be able to receive your portion of money or interest in the assets. Or its possible that you may be able to file with the court a Motion to Amend the Decree of Divorce based on fraud where Husband would have the burden to prove that the money received was spent on marital debts if required in your Divorce Decree. If he fails in that proof, the trial court could treat the income as a marital asset to which you may be awarded a portion.
Find a lawyer who specializes in family/divorce law in your state or contact your state's division for legal aid if you cannot afford counsel.

You have no rights I'm afraid. Being that you had such bad credit to begin with, the property you speak of wasn't exactly yours to claim. You can either try to obtain financing on your own for these items or walk away, be glad the debt is no longer yours and move on.

Clean up your credit and start new. Don't ever let that happen again. I don't think you really have any rights. Move on with your life and learn from your mistakes.

you probably don't have any right, but if you can prove that you were the one paying for everything (receipts, cancelled checks, etc) you can try to get a lawyer to help you. If not chalk one up as experience.
