My name was not on the account. They just asked who else lived there and he gave my name.

If your name is not on the account then no they can not. Please see the below website to review your right under the Fair Debt Collection act.
Hope it helps!

If you live in a community property state, they can come after you. And there are some other states that have special rules concerning utilities that allow them to pursue other household members.
Is the bill from a timeframe when you actually lived there? And was there anything in your divorce settlement about division of debt?

They will go after anyone they think they can get to pay them money. If your name wasn't on the account, don't do it.
