Unfortunately, they were able to find you because you are the one not hiding and taking responsibility for things. You both signed, they found you.
Yes, you can sue him for half, or even all of it since he has the car, but it will cost you even more to do so, and he will probably hide from that obligation too. I'm sure the car company looked long and hard for him before bothering you.
So, yes, you can, and you will probably get a judgment against him (I doubt he will bother to show up and you'll get it by default), but collecting will be a whole other thing.

If the car was awarded to him in the divorce settlement you have no liablility for it. All that is needed is to contact the bank/lein holder and fax over a copy of your court records showing the vehicle was awarded to him and the should stop the garnishment and even refund what they already took.
If for some reason you still had joint ownership of the vehicle or you never took your name off the paperwork then you can sue but he probably won't pay based on his history.

Ewwwww
Yet ANOTHER reason not to get too involved with a man.. Irresponsible, low down... (mumbles incoherently)...
Call your local legal aid program and ask this question. I don't have the answers for you. Well, yes, I do...
Open up a life insurance policy on your ex and help him into an accident. That should pay for your Expedition. LOL. I am KIDDINGGGGGGGG.
DO NOT FOLLOW THAT JOKING PIECE OF ADVICE.

You both signed, so you are both responsible. And if they can't find him, they get you.
You can sue him for his half, but good luck getting anything.
Cheers.

Go for it but he will probably hide from this payment as well.
