You have mentioned some very radical and seemingly contradictory ideas. Everything from running away to Argentina, then Russia, to becoming a monk, to joining the military (at 40 years old?). Yet you are saying that your children are the most important things in your life and you want nothing more than to spend as much time as possible with them. However, all four of your plans basically involve seeing your children very rarely (if ever).
On the other hand, I proposed an idea that within a year could have you making 80K to 100K a year in mostly cash, under the table revenue that cannot be traced to your personal Social Insurance Number, while living a simple monk-like life in a vehicle in close proximity to your children where you could see them often without having to pay your wife 60% of your income (because on the books you'd have none), and your response is:
I do like imagining a life of not financially rewarding this woman for stealing my livelihood... but I don't know if I could go totally off like that, reselling things and such.
If you're not selling, then all you're doing is buying which means you need a J.O.B. You'd rather sign your life over to the military and the Canadian State than become a self-made entrepreneur? Well, then you're going to have to reap the destiny that you have sewn for yourself:
I am going to lose everything, home, 60 percent of after tax income, access to my kids except every second weekend...
The military would garnish my wages, 60/40 for her though. I'd never see my kids and she'd have successfully stolen the majority of my life's work and eaten it for free.
In no way am I trying to be hard on you but we must analyze this situation correctly and hence honestly, and brother it seems like there is a continual flow of "problems" in your life. Your wife sleeps until noon, she gets a "headache" before church and cancels, you have 3 jobs and still are in a bad financial position, you have a disabled child, a daughter playing a masculine sport (hockey), you bought a house only to have your wife say she tricked you into buying it so she could steal it from you, your wife is cheating on you, you're getting a divorce, and list goes on. Do you see a pattern here? At 40 years old you seem to be making a series of bad decisions. And I don't see that you're really willing to address that because the solutions you are entertaining seem to be worse than the problems you are currently experiencing. It's what we call "jumping from the frying pan into the fire."
The only further advice I can offer you is to quit drinking if you are doing so. Other than that, may God bless you on your journey and lead you to a peaceful and healthy resolution to your struggles.
