Legal Question in Family Law in California

My wife has filed for divorce in her petition falsely states that I am known meth user, I have no arrest records nor is there any evidence to support this claim in addition she is requesting sole custody of our three children and that I pay for her attorney fees and child support, she said I had superior earning capabilities as opposed to her state teaching job in which she receives a nice salary plus $12oo per month in health insurance and $500 into calstrs retirement plan, The teaching job which she recently acquired only after she abruptly quit our family business and sent it into a tail spin. She ran the the marketing and accounting as well as customer service, She was the company.She left the company after running it since 2004 with out notice and without training a replacement for running the day to day operations as the general manager and CFO, since she left the company I have been struggling to keep it afloat and have been virtually made homeless from the business tanking, I held the family together while she went full time to get her masters degree and I paid for the family needs and she aquiered loans for the schooling.. Now I do not know how to respond and I cant even afford an attorney let alone Food. I suffer from PTSD and Major depression and rely on her medical benefits for my health and rely on her medical insurance and support which will be terminated upon the divorce, can I seek temporary spousal support? addition she failed to list that she is the president of an Oregon corporation on her income and assets list. she is unaware that I have this information, last thing is she had a repo company take my work truck that I used for business. I which as a couple we borrowed $2500 from her family trust to purchase the truck along with funds I put into the purchase of $7000 dollars total being $10000. I was not given notice of any of this the payments were made on time. According to the potion the there is restraining order not to move assets. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, I am stuck in the mud of being bullied into submission and like a deer caught in the head lights. After 23 years of marriage and turning 45 years old in two days I am questioning my value and whether or not I am needed here on earth anymore, I love my children who were basically as far as I am concerned kidnapped and now have been alienated from me for no good reason I had a great relationship with them...As it stands I am basically,bankrupt, begging and borrowing. I am a great water fall and natural water feature designer and contractor with over 1500 designs installed to date, if anyone will barter with me let me know. I am among a few who can truly craft a natural looking a waterfalls. Thank you for your valuable time.
