Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I'm probably getting a divorce soon, and I have some questions regarding this issue. I am citizen from Aruba, and I married a US citizen and got my permanent residency. When I first came to the states, my wife and I talked about getting a

$40000 loan in my name in Aruba to get a Bachelor's degree for me. I used most of the student loan to pay out of state tuition because she wanted to finish her bachelor's degree. I could have paid instate tuition in Orlando; however, we agreed that she would work while I finished my degree to cover the other expenses. I had to get an additional $15000 loan to be able to continue my degree. I am supposed to graduate next year in December 2015; however, I was suddenly hit with her wanting to divorce. I told her that I wanted to do anything fix the marriage. She does not want to take any step to fix this marriage. Since I came here, I have been completely financially dependent on her. I did not get a job because it was difficult study and work as a full time student. If this divorce were to happen, I would have no place live and no transportation. We own a car and have a mortgage on a house in Gainesville Florida. We are currently living in Orlando in a condo that belongs to her parents. She told me that if we divorced she would not be responsible for anything. She finished her degree and now I cannot get my bachelor's if we divorce because I don't have family in the US. I need to know if there is anything that can be done for me and if I need to get a lawyer involved.
