If someone is preparing your spouse's taxes ("his taxes") ---according to you----then you cannot also file a joint return. Your spouse cannot file his own separate return and file jointly with you as well. You need a much clearer understanding of exactly what your spouse---and the attorney --- are doing.
You do not say how long you have been married...were you married to him in 2017---or even earlier? What have you been doing about your tax returns while you have been married to him?
If your spouse owes a lot of back taxes---you might want to get some legal advice yourself to protect yourself from being held responsible for his debts.
Provide some details----someone here may have some helpful thoughts.
