You need a lawyer. Many will provide a free consultations. Many will take a small retainer and monthly payments. If you have benefits through work, find out if there are discounted legal options.
My child's employer has an expanded employee assistance program that applies to everyone living in the same household. It's worth checking.
It occurs to me that your wife is getting exactly what she wanted. She moved out, she asked/demanded a divorce, she pushed her kids away... now, she must learn to live with the consequences of her choices. If she doesn't like the consequences, that's her problem. I know its hard, but her consequences are NOT yours. Your suggestion should be that she moves in with her friends that she chose if she demands to move back. You have the right to say no.
If you can, buying her out is an option. You will need a quit claim deed in place so she can't come back in 6 months with no money and demand half the house because she's still on the deed. You need a lawyer for this process.
