I think there are two separate issues here:
1. As part of divorce, he may be ordered to pay spousal support and/or child support, depending on your state laws and possibly circumstances of the marriage and divorce. And how much he pays depends on his income and your income, etc. If he is lying about his income or something, then you and/or your divorce lawyer should definitely get this figured out during the divorce proceedings. Otherwise the lawyer is not doing his job.
2. I am assuming that you're the permanent resident and he sponsored you on an I-864? If so, then (separately from the divorce) he has an obligation, if you do not make 125% of the poverty line, to pay you enough money to get you to that level. This is regardless of whether you are divorced or not. If you are not making enough, then you should tell him and ask him to pay, and if he does not, you need to sue him.
