There is something called "Innocent Spouse Relief", which you file on Form 8857. This is a way to request relief from joint liability for tax, interest , penalties on a joint return for items that were incorrectly reported on the joint return. ALSO, there is something called an "Injured Spouse" claim, which you file on Form 8379. Form 8379 is a way to request the division of a tax overpayment according to the proper share of each spouse's contribution.

How do you find out if a spouse has filed a tax return?

The obvious answer is to ask your spouse. If that is not an option, have your divorce attorney ask your spouse's attorney. You can call the IRS and ask them if by any chance a joint return has been filed with your name on it, but they won't tell you if your spouse filed a separate return. If none of that works, file a separate return (married filing separately, not single). If civil relations are ever restored with your spouse, you can talk about matters and file an amended return later.
