To answer the questions that I see:
1. Arizona does have a procedure by which you can have court ordered counseling.
2. You can ask the court to enter orders regarding "spousal maintenance", so that your judge can assess whether your husband should be assisting you with your bills and if so in what amount and for how long.
3. If a portion of his 401(k) was accrued during the marriage, then you are absolutely entitled to one half of that amount.
A qualified and experienced family law attorney can of course assist you in considering your options
and then getting where you need to be. Most of us offer free, 1/2 hour consultations, in which your
matter can be discussed in detail. That would be a great opportunity to discuss the specifics of your
matter and develop a plan. I would encourage you to quickly schedule this free consultation.
