How can I free my mother from financial abuse?

My father has been lying to my mother about how much money he has so that he doesn't have to pay her what he owes her (he said he would pay her an amount of money on several occasions and never paid it) and keeps lying about where the money is going towards and ignores her when she asks for the money. It has been many years. She is in debt because of him. They are still married but live in separate countries. Me and my brother live with my father and my mother is living in her home country where we used to live before the 3 of us moved away. She does not have the money to come visit us and we only see her every 3 years and I wish I could see her more, so I want to help solve her debt so she can come visit us more often or maybe even live with us. My father keeps delaying the divorce and I don't trust him with what he asks her to sign because he's very selfish and might try to screw her over. I know that he does not want to give her half of the money he makes and will probably try to find a way to work around it if possible. I don't know how a lot of this stuff works yet, I'm doing my research but I figured might as well ask for help on here if anyone knows if this is something my mother can sue for or how she can divorce him and get the money that she was supposed to receive to relieve her debt? Feel free to ask questions if more detail is needed.
