You are in a terrible situation.

My ex is bipolar and a drug addict. I had to buy him out of the house. He spent $130K of the $180K settlement in 3 months. He just had his 9th car accident in 3 1/2 years and almost lost his foot.

The first thing you should do is find some lawyers that will give you a free consultation to at least get the "big picture" of what you can expect given your situation. Second, I've heard there are some lawyers that will work for free, for those who can't afford one. You would probably need to call around to find them. Three, don't sign anything without an attorney looking over the papers. And don't be bullied by him. If he is like my ex he has the typical over-inflated sense of self-worth coupled with a belligerent and angry attitude.

I would say you may be able to get your ex to pick-up some of your lawyers fees but the reality is he will spend everything he gets his hands on. Spending sprees are a symptom of bipolar.

Even though you are disabled I suggest you find a job, even if it is part-time. Many disabled people are able to find something to do. The odds are you aren't getting anything financial out of this marriage.
