You need to contact your family back home and borrow money for an attorney - I realize you are feeling pretty devistated, but that doesn't mean you walk away without what is legally yours. If they won't help you, then you can go to the court clerk and apply for legal aid. You do not divorce without your own representation - it doesn't matter if he wants to go it on his own, you need to make sure your rights are protected - it is the difference between handling it maturely, or not. If your name is on the mortgage, you are entitled to half of the equity in the home, not that there will be much, but still - if he wants the house, he needs to buy you out of your share before you sign it over to him.
You may want to consider getting rid of your current car and getting something more economical. Also discuss with him the fact that since he moved you out there - he needs to be responsible for getting you home. I'm a family law attorney
