Friend of mine found himself in such a situation. His mistake was thinking that all the arrangements were done by formula so he didn't have to pay for his own attorney. Whoops. He ended up having $400/month after alimony and child support. That was supposed to pay for a place to live and transportation to his job. Amazing, but the judge really didn't care that the terms were onerous enough to risk the very employment that would allow him to pay anything at all.

Moral of the story, always get a lawyer if you're going through a divorce. The best one you can afford.

I'd actually go as far as 'The best one you can't afford.'

And that’s really the salient concept underlying the forces at work here:

  Now thrive the armorers.
The key feature of prevailing marriage statistics is that there are exploitative forces operating a narrative, to profit from both sides of the conflict.

Legal representation for divorce is a volume-oriented practice. The more, the better, and anything to fan the flames of strife from both directions.

“Make sure everyone falls into the trap, and make sure at least someone is making money off these morons, so we can all play golf together, after we rip them apart, and rifle through their wallets, and get our cut of the profits from whoever might win. Make sure the guys are paranoid and fearful of getting taken to the cleaners, and make sure the girls are salivating at an early retirement. Then either version of clientele will pay through the nose for our services.”

Basically, what tech recruiters do, except lawyers do it to families, while recruiters do it to companies.

The Prisoner's Dilemma shows that individuals will always act in their being interest.

Watch Divorce Corp Inc. to see the most fucked up shit happening to people getting divorced.
