Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

My wife and I are separated and going through a divorce. In the beginning, it was a "working" separation with the understanding that it was only temporary. She has since found a new man in her life and now divorce has been filed. In the beginning, I signed an agreement to pay $185 a week for support of our 3 children. Now that the divorce is imminent, she keeps wanting more money. Also, before the separation, unbeknownst to me, she put herself on my account as a co-owner, and takes money out as she pleases. I am now left in a situation where I barely have enough to pay my own bills. Will the courts continue with the $185 per week, or will they take into consideration my financial situation as well?
