Getting Divorced

I am single with no children (I am SO thankful I did not expose any children to this man's abuse and cruelty!!) But I did not want a divorce I wanted him to get help and for the abuse to stop. (He moved us to a part of the country we knew no one, abandonded me and then served me divorce papers.)He was wonderful before we got married, yes he really was. I have some spinal damage from an injury I experienced at work and I can't work. He could not do enough or be more helpful, before we got married. he had me fooled. I had never been in, or exposed to, this kind of hostility before in my life and I am learning a lot. I found several books to be helpful with learning about the hostility and abuse- I wish I'd had them years ago. But I don't know of any books that might be of help with dealing with a traumatic divorce. I need some encouragment, some guidance, some information.

The first lawyer I had was horrible. She gave incorrect information to the judge , wouldn'r defend against crap he had told his lawyer(I found out a friend of hers) to say during the hearing, and even agreed to things with my husband's lawyer AFTER I fired her!!- I'm looking for another.
