My husband has cc js against the house now i have to pay them back or i will loose the house?

My soon to be ex husband has gambled and lost �250k he hit me for many years and was arrested 6 years ago, I pay all of the mortgage as he doesn't support us. now there are 2 CC J'S on the property, Ive been told even if the court award me the house, I could still loose my home to pay his debts. Is this right?
