You have a lawyer; use him. And yes of course go to court with all the ammunition you can get, medical records and financial records. But heed the warning about not working for 31 years; that's a long time to get alimony, even if you raised children, and not try to supplement it with a job before your heart problems.

Who has been suporting you over the last 2 years if you haven't worked and if you have a grave medical condition why haven't you seen a doctor in 2 years?

Have you applied for disability yet? With your disabiity you should be able to b e approved in a few months vs years. The sooner you apply, the sooner you will be approved.
