Husband left the country

Hello,
We got married outside the USA 25 years ago. My husband left the country unannounced leaving a separation letter on the dining table. He left the primary residence, car and 10K. But took all the rest of the money which is more than a million. I don't know where he moved or where he lives. How do I take him to court and claim equitable distribution of assets? Even if I track him, is he obligated to return to the country and face the courts? We both are USA citizens and we have three children who are above 20 years. I am really confused and emotionally disturbed by this behavior. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Has anybody experienced something like this? How did you handle it?
