I agree with everything Mr. Grissom had to say, and want to add that I have some concern about your immigration status.
Has your conditional permanent residence been waived? If not, you need to slow down on the divorce. You also need a divorce lawyer with immigration knowledge.
Good luck.

My advice would be to get your own attorney and work out this divorce to save what you can. You are already wa-a-ay behind. Any money you yhink you might have saved on an attorney, you are going to pay through the nose for now. Good Luck.
