Innocent or Injured spouse

I filed taxes back in march for my and my husband. Our refund never came. I called the IRS and they could not discuss with me why we didn't receive our refund, but they were able to confirm that it was applied to 2017. (before I married my husband). We are now separated and in the process of divorce. Should I file injured spouse to claim my share of the refund, or innocent spouse. 

 

I'm not sure I even understand the difference between injured and innocent spouse.
