jkitty,
My first question: Do you have a lawyer? If not, get one, pronto! If you can't afford an attorney see if you qualify for legal aid. Check the blue pages of your phone book under United States Government for a legal aid office near you.
Next piece of advice: Call your local courthouse and ask to speak with the Clerk of the court office. Ask what you must do to discover whether a legal action has been filed against you. In all my experience, if some sues you, you will be notified of that action via U.S. Mail or a hand delivered summons by a server. It's also possible your husband filed and said he'd deliver the summons to you himself, and then didn't do it.
Find out the procedure for responding to the letter you received and follow the instructions. Then, get yourself a P O Box for your own mail delivery.
Good luck,
