The issue is not if you were working but rather was the debt acquired during the marriage. You would need to obtain documentation to show when they were acquired.

I would suggest filing your own divorce and not wait for him to do it. It also doesn't sound like you have an uncontested divorce so I probably wouldn't wait for that either. If after you get it started, you two reach an agreement that is fine but I would still get it started.
My son has filed for divorce. His wife ignores all deadlines for response. Son's attorney can't get any response for any request from wife's attorney. What can be done?? They have no children together. He learned he was husband #5.

There is plenty that can be done. An attorney doesn't need to sit back and do nothing. It depends on what answer they are waiting for as to what motion they would file though.
