Hang in there!
I think you'll have fairly smooth sailing. What seems to make it very difficult in most cases are (1) substantial assets, including current and future income, and (2) children.
For (2), it sounds like you have one 16 year old daughter? If so, that's fortunate. First, I don't think there is much in the way of custody battles for 16 year olds. They are old enough to have a lot of input in the system, and they can drive themselves where they need to go, and are generally beginning to be independent. She's probably 18 months or so away from being an adult.
For (1) it sounds like your wife makes at least as much or more than you, and there aren't a lot of complicated assets (rental properties, ownership in companies, etc.). My guess is she's not going to expect future support from you.
Anyways, good luck. You already sound like you're doing better!
