[quote=Anonymous]Divorce is often financially ruinous for everyone involved, but especially women, many of whom have made the same choices as you and are subsequently swimming hard up the same stream.

How I dealt with it was that I accepted that I would accrue some debt in order to stabilize my life. I don't think you will even have to do that, because you have a lot in savings. Maybe not longterm, but with that $100k, you can wait out the rest of your lease making ends meet as best you can and then move somewhere with better options. Once I accepted the reality that divorce is expensive AND that I was deciding that the expense was worth it for me, it was easier to not cringe every time a bill from the lawyer came or whatever.

It sounds like you're reeling because you had been operating collaboratively and he basically trashed that plan. But "state ordered support" is probably a lot more than you think. Maybe have your lawyer reassess the situation to get a better deal for you in the non-collaborative situation you are now in.[/quote]
