In the end he can try all sorts of things, but most of the time the judge does what he or she will deem fair. If you are a community property state, it usually means 50/50 for all assets acquired during the marriage. Most likely in your case the judge will grant you spousal support and probably joint custody with child support.

You do need a lawyer though and help with your attorney's fees may also be part of the deal. I got screwed over by my ex husband. In our case I had family assets and he did not. Still we were pretty much subdivided in half, but I got custody of our daughter. It is not the same after divorce and it can be a real financial struggle. Fortunately I got a decent job teaching and put my life together, He still lives in some dump in Idaho shacked up with someone

People talk a lot of "trash" during a divorce and there is an awful lot of emotional pain. I would have done anything to not have to go through it but in the end I am truly better off. It never gets better as fast as we would like, but things do improve, It is important that you take care of yourself here and above all avaoid anything that sounds like a contingency that he can use to "shake your chain" in the future

I wish you the best
