Lizzie, have you got a lawyer or mediator? I left with $400 in my pocket and a daughter - $200 of which went to rent for the rest of the month, and thought I was starting at square one on money. I didn't get a lawyer for 7 years- THEN he disclosed that there was money, and gave me enough for a down payment on for a new house, and I got the house to sell. Make sure you don't have resources you don't know about.
