My MIL may need to move into a care facility and when we went to complete a Medicaid application, we found out that she gifted a significant amount of money which we would be responsible for paying back in order to qualify for Medicaid.
You (as in you and your husband) are not responsible for paying for MILs care. SHE is.
If MIL gifted you all money and you need to pay it back, that's something that you work out (the question is, is this "marital debt") with the divorce mediator or lawyer. I highly recommend mediation
Are you thinking of divorcing your spouse just to get out of paying for MIL’s care? Before I did that, I would consult with any attorney who specializes in Medicaid and/or Elder Law to see what options you have. Paying for a divorce will cost you big bucks too.

The person she gifted the money to is the one who this burden should fall on.
