you should promptly obtain a reputable lawyer in the county where the two of you reside. once a divorce is filed the court will enter a temporary order which will govern keeping the status quo re bills, who lives in the home, support, etc.. there are provisions in the law that if you are incapable of working you may be able to receive maintenance for a period of time. however your divorce lawyer is your best souce of info. word of mouth is the best source to find one. also the local county bar association would have a referral service. i am unfamiliar with your area code but you are welcome to call one of our divorce lawyers, nicole keith or adam sedia, for a recommendation in your area and they should be able to answer whatever questions you have. good luck.
