Tough situation. I once had to break off an engagement because I found out her family owed over $50000 in debt (accumulated by her father and older brother) and she would be the one responsible to pay for it. I told her to cut ties and start fresh with me, even if she had no money it was ok. We could start from the bottom up.
But she couldn't get away from it, she loved her brother and thought he was awesome. So I was stuck with a down payment on a house and mortgage to pay alone and I let her go so we couldn't get married.
You have to cut them out but she has to take the lead.
