Financial abuse help

My husband recently left me (I now know there was someone else, lucky me!) and as much as it broke me, hindsight is a wonderful thing and I now realise just how toxic he was. Gaslighting me etc but really the financial abuse is the bit I need help with now. I won't go into too much detail so as not to out myself but there was lots of me putting things on the credit cards (in my name) for him and him not paying towards them but he seemed to always have the money to buy things for himself. That and there is also a fraud situation.
So here I am, separated and up to my eyeballs in debt due to him and his behaviours. What do I do from here? Where do I seek advice from? I obviously can't really afford legal advice due to the above and I'm just a bit lost on where to turn.
For what it's worth I'm not out to ruin his life, i just don't want to spend the rest of my life trying to repair from his behaviour whilst he roams around living the high life... it doesn't seem fair

The debt could be classed as a joint debt When dividing up the assets.
