Answer
Hello Gwen,
Depending in what state you filed, the time allotted after submitting a petition for divorce differs. In estimating your time of separation (about15months) the divorce, if not contested, should have finalized by now. (Contested divorces have no maximum time limit and could go on for years.)   Spousal support should have been submitted along with your original Decree.  Presuming that your child was born out of wedlock and child support has been established by the courts.  Any modifications you or your Ex-husband may want need to be filed separately in a court of law.


You stated that you’re not sure if it’s even worth to trying for.
Your ex-husbands addictions are conflicting with your ethical beliefs and yet in spite of everything you attempted to reconcile. You have stood your ground with what you wanted or didn't want from this relationship, which shows tremendous strength, courage and compassion.  Continue to use those qualities in future decisions, being unemployed is only temporary and is something only you can change.
Children benefit from healthy relationships, you and your ex-husband need to bear in mind that you are role models for this child. You have your differences in what a marriage should consist of; try not to let the Parenting of your child mix in with that.
On that note, I ask you, “Is this worth trying for?”

Please feel free to follow up with me,
I hope I was of some help to you,
Rebecca
