I realize that all credit card debt during the marriage will probably be split evenly. If my husband uses his own credit card after I file for divorce would there be any possibility of that being split too?

Most likely no, but there could be some valid "marital" debt that could come from using a credit card after a divorce was filed.

I agree, in my case the ex bought $500~ of Mary K products after the divorce was filed and the judge must have thought this was a valid "marital" purchase because I paid for half of them.

There is a possibility HOWEVER it may be considered separate property. Ask to have a restraining order put into effect that restricts each party from indebting the other. In many areas that is an automatic but if it is not in your area, you would want that to happen.
