Yep you need a good lawyer. Sounds way too much like this was planned on her part. Don't buy nuthin till it's all cut and dried and on paper. If you have anything of value, trade it to a friend for something cheaper. Reduce the financial value of everything. You might even go so far as to arrange a firing/leave of absence from you job. Play every bit of the victim she made you.

Friend had similar happen. Did all he could to devalue his assets so cash settlement was the best she could hope for and would be as low a possible. Example: His new truck and Mercedes suddenly "had major mechanical problems." He traded them to a friend for a truck that looked like junk but ran. His house somehow got majorly vandalized while he was away and was not only devalued but un-marketable. Changed it from asset to debt. Then after everything was finalized and a short waiting period he traded his cars back and fixed the house nicer than it was before she left.

Or could do like my brother did. Signed everything over to her with the divorce papers, quit is job, packed whatever he wanted that he could carry on a plane, and left. Said he didn't want any property associated with her and could live just fine on his income ability no matter where he went. He even exchanged the tickets after he got to the airport to make it harder to find out where he went.
