Without going into to much information I got suckered into a relationship where I got into a lot of debt in my name about 20k on credit cards on my name but spent on her and her children. I know I have no chance of ever getting any payments towards the credit card debts as they are in my name and I am paying those of. But I have also a rent arreas debt that I am paying for her name was on the tenacy agreement I wondered if there is anything I can do to chase her for payment of at least half of the debt.

Thats because with a joint account either party can be chased. Your easy to get money from, she isnt - so they chase you (sorry to say).
i hope others can chip in with advice here, but I think your stuffed 0
