equal responsibility?

I left my abusive husband five years ago. He stayed in the house, there were no arrears then and I continued to support the mortgage as much as I could, and paid for some repairs to the house. He lived in it, didn't pay the mortgage and I have had a letter from solicitors claiming the full amount. It has now been repossessed, i wrote and said I couldn't pay. I've heard that we are jointly responsible for the debt as it was in both our names, does this mean equally? When I have not lived there?I am worried sick by this, does anybody know what is likely to happen.
