Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

When my husband and I separated in March we had agreed that his name would be taken off our joint account and that he'd use a new checking account that he had already established. He kept direct depositing into the joint account and I could never get him out of it. He ended up overdrafting the account and then changed his direct deposit to his new account. So yesterday, the bank took $500 out of his new account and put it into the joint to bring it back to a $0 balance. Now my husband is trying to tell me that I owe him $500 or he's going to make our divorce ugly. Threatening to go after me for adultery for a IM conversation I had with a friend on Yahoo 2 years ago. Please note, I never committed adultery. My husband however has committed adultery, charging hotels to our joint checking account after we separated so he could have sex with his new girlfriend. So here he is threatening to drag me to court since I can't afford an attorney to "tear me apart" over this $500. Threatening to use this old IM conversation against me so the judge will make me responsible for the debt and throw me in jail. He's trying to stick me with a 4 year old $3000 Verizon bill also. Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong but an IM conversation is not sufficient evidence in the state of Virginia to prove adultery and if the court would make me responsible for marital debt, wouldn't the judge just garnish my wages? How does this work?
