Sorry to hear about the divorce, I am married and can't imagine the hurt. Flight training is expensive no matter where you go and ATP can be quite expensive. If I could offer any advise it would be evaluate seriously what direction you want your aviation career to go, particularly at age 35, so you get the best training for your situation. One other thing, make sure you make the decision with a clear head. I know a guy who is brilliant and had an excellent paying job and decided he wanted to fly. He turned his life upside down and decided after considerable loss that he didn't want to be a career pilot. Not an injunction, merely a hopefully helpful toss. Best of luck to you.
