Starting over from Scratch - former stay at home mom edition

Sooo... I need some advice. I'm looking around in here and see that a lot of people are making great money, but they had to work for it for over a decade of job growth. As is normal, and totally expected. I don't have that kind of time.

I was, at my husband's request, a stay at home mom to 3 girls, all of whom are 10 and under. And now we are splitting up and I'm entirely behind the curve. I'm in my early 40s, so the career I was focused on building for the last 15+ years was my husband's, and I have no work history to speak of. I was in corporate credit and collections for my last office job, and have a liberal arts undergrad degree.

I don't know what I don't know, and need advice, please. I obviously need to be able to stay home and work remotely, or afford childcare for three kids. Any suggestions or trainings I could start now, to try to get going? We will mostly likely need $60-$75k to make ends meet with the housing market and expenses in our area.
