Ex-husband's debt took my tax return

My ex-husband and I divorced in 2022. The tax debt was ruled by the court for him to pay because it was his debt. I filed Head of Household for my 2022 taxes. The IRS took my refund and applied it to my ex-husband's debt. It sounds like when reading about Injured/Innocent Spouse, that I have no recourse because we did not file jointly. Is that correct and can I file anything else to try and retrieve my refund?
