He didn't file for 3 years- impact on me?

Hey everyone,
I am preparing to file for divorce from my husband by the end of the year but possibly sooner.
Just starting to get all my ducks in a row with researching, talking to people and whatnot. I have a stick tax issue, but I don't really have the means to seek out a lawyer's help on it just now. If anyone can help or point me in the direction of some free legal advice I'd much appreciate it.
My Husband has been in oil & gas for the past 5 years or so...at one point he became an independent contractor, basically self employed, which of course requires you to take care of your own taxes whether by yourself or with the help of a CPA.
He insisted on hiring this guy in the next state because "all the other guys use him". The lady from Tax Time right here in town wasn't good enough, God only knows why. He had to give the guy a chink of money upfront and was supplied with instructions on what records to keep and how to submit payments and all that business.
All that to say this: my husband completely dropped the ball and hasn't filed taxes for the last 3 years. He lied to me about the first year, and since then, I have been utterly stonewalled when asking him questions about how he plans to handle it. I have never been allowed to handle or have a part in the finances. Now he's just ignoring the issue.
How is this going to play into my plans for divorce? The financial aspect is only a portion of the reason for the divorce itself, BTW, but that's all moot right now. I was a stay at home mom bringing in no income all that time if that's a relevant detail. I'm taking CNA training classes beginning next week and while I work as a CNA I will be studying for my LPN certification...my ticket out of this mess.
When filing, what is required in the way of giving up information about taxes? Will he get into trouble? More importantly, will I? Will this impede the divorce process at all?
Any help is appreciated.
