Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My wife and I have been married for 1 year and 8 months, we rent an apartment and I have a step son who I do not have legal custody just my wife and her ex husband. I have benn unemployed since Febuary and am having a difficult time landing a job not do to lack of effort. I have continued to pay all the bills and rent to this point but the money will be gone going into September. I also turned my car in last March to save money until I started a new job so we have both been using her car. I told my wife since March to save her money as she works as a RN in case we need it going into September which she did. My wife has decided to leave me and move out of the apartmernt, she has been gone since the beginning of July coming in at times to pack her things as they are still in the house in boxes, she said she would be out at the end of the month. She told me she would not pay for anything going into September and that the finacial situation was my problem not hers and that her money is her money. I dont want anything from her just a clean divorce. In this situation with me having no job,money, assets or property can she get anything from me when we divorce. My wife is leaving me due to the finacial situation, I make very good money when I am working which may be the reason she married me and did not count on this happening.. i have always paid for all expenses in the time we have been married. This is my first marriage at 44 years old and her third at 35 years old. She also has never recieved alimoney or child support from the boys father, she refuses to go through the legal channels to get it but still allows the father to se his son.

Thank you
