Yes, I would get a good divorce lawyer. You did the right thing leaving him if he refuses to address his addiction.

You might want to look into Al-Anon meetings to meet others with similar issues.
It’s not mandatory at all but if one spouse ASKS for spousal support (regardless of the kids-that’s not related to having kids) then lawyers will go back and forth and judge will decide. Some people get it and some don’t. It depends on a lot of details
Thanks for this!
