Get medical docs in order. do not work, make 0$. get atty. advice. You are in a position to file and make hersupports you. Of course she will be a complete deadbeat as the MAJORITY of women ordered to pay support are, but you will not have to support her lazy butt and if you recover can have your kid and your income. Include her "browbeating" and failure to care for you as arguements for special share in any equity in lieu of alimony. Get her an employment eval and extrapolat her potential until she's 67 to see how much she owes you if ordered to become her slave, offer to setttle for 10% off. If you can stay home and care for the kids but not work that's even better, you'll get CS & the kid. With an MRI and that injury could be just what the doctor ordered. Now is the time to wallow, you can get better later.
