From what you have written, you should consult with a family law attorney to discuss your current marital situation and to discuss what you wish to do with it. Legal separation? Petition to dissolve the marriage? Marital counseling?
Given what you have written given your arrest you also need to consult with a criminal defense attorney as well.
As to your needed medication, I suggest that you call your physician and request a refill.
