The cost of lawyer's fees are minimal, nothing, nada by comparison to what you are owed from this marriage - namely your child and home. See a lawyer, my friend. You don't have to go rolling through court on a daily basis, you don't need to spend 10 grand - you do need to get qualified legal advice to protect your interests, no matter what she may say (sorry to sound harsh, you probably still have feelings for her, but you absolutely must protect yourself - she is in the much stronger position here, and this is how many people get screwed in a divorce). A basic lawyer consult - to sit down and do up a basic agreement that protects you - will only cost a couple hundred to a few hundred dollars, depending on where you live and is very well worth it.
Make a full inventory of all shared possessions and what each of you brought into the marriage.
good luck.
