I cannot guarantee that you will receive your portion of the refund, but that is the purpose of filing the Injured Spouse form with a joint tax return. 

The purpose of the Injured Spouse form is to separate items from a joint tax return so that only the portion of the refund attributable to the person who owes the previous debt will be used to satisfy that debt.  Without the Injured Spouse form, this division of the refund does not take place and your joint refund could be seized.
