If the debts are in only his name then you have no liability to the creditors for them and must not allow yourself to be harassed into making any payments. However, if you divorce they might come into the decision on how the assets and liabilities are to be split, especially if you or the family have had any benefit from the expenditure.
Do see a solicitor and - if you wish - start divorce proceedings. The finances will need to be sorted out as part of the divorce.
