Legal Question in Tax Law in New York

divorce/IRS tax question

I am going through divorce and my husband is threatening to make me pay for his error of claiming 7 dependents for years on his taxes - we file married but separate - have been living separately for 11 years, have 2 children who live with me full time (joint custody) and he was caught cheating IRS when we were not living together. I hope I am not responsible for his gross mistake. Can I be considered an innocent spouse or something like that?
