Spouse lost 6 figure income job and hid it by using all 401k and savings. Has apparently borrowed from friends and family and can no longer do so. Borrowed from family to relocate us closer to his family in another state. I am a citizen but not from the USA and have neither family nor ( due to spouses borrowing) any friends in this country. Children cannot help as they now deal with fallout trying to pay their own education / living costs. My own family cannot help financially. I've never worked during marriage ( not due to laziness or ill health, circumstances are not important to narrative). Also have enormous ( over 548k combined federal and tax liabilities in my name due to his not withholding ( we did file jointly- I never checked the papers as had not once ever had an issue before moving to the USA several years ago, and trusted spouse). Currently housed in his home state and home of his family friend, and trying to find ANY work. I don't know where to go from here to begin to rebuild. Advice on financial steps to move forward would be appreciated Ie. Filing for bankruptcy, closing joint accounts etc.
