A stay-at-home spouse, medically disabled, with multiple small children? I personally would think there is a good chance of rehabilitative spousal support, and a possibility of permanent spousal support. Call me an optimist if you will.
Would I advise somebody to waive spousal support, waive her right to her share of her husband's retirement accounts, and to stipulate to a child support figure without checking the Michigan child support formula? Quite the opposite.
I would encourage Ms. Heart to consult her own lawyer. In Wayne County it can be difficult to get help directly from Wayne County Legal Services, as they have too many cases and put a priority on domestic violence cases, but it's worth trying and (as the links above demonstrate) there are other sources of affordable legal help available.
