Contact the legal aid organization and local bar association in your community, and apply for public assistance. You should also look for a job to earn some income, because assuming that you will be filing for divorce, you are unlikely to be eligible for permanent alimony on the facts you provided, and the court will likely impute at least a minimum wage earning ability to you.

Find a way to retain an attorney to fight. Use a credit card if you have to. Use of a lawyer is recommended.
