Get the car in your name. Or take your name off it if you don't want it.
Get Lifelock or put a freeze on your credit RIGHT NOW! Trust me, this bitch has no problem getting store credit cards in your name... I know this because me and my ex went and paid off all of our credit cards and closed them out. She had re-opened all the accounts before we saw the lawyer the next day. I had no idea until I started getting collection calls.
If you have a joint bank account, close it. If she starts bouncing checks... You're on the hook.
Basically you need to start handling this chick like the $3.50 (with a coupon) street rat hooker she is.
Do not ever give her the benefit of the doubt again.
