In my case the OP is my FIL. The most passive/aggressive human on the planet. I'm certain he is feeding her just from some of the things she is saying. When he is no longer in the picture MAYBE she will settle down, maybe not, who knows.
That may or may not be true, but in the end, she is responsible for her own behavior. Nobody else. Just like you are for yourself.
I get the stress. I do. By offering a glimpse of other situations, I hope it helps you to put that into perspective and better deal with it. I strongly suggest you discard any expectations of your W. Any, no matter how reasonable. It'll help with the stress

it just seems to me that she is just so unable to even understand how things work but has no problem spewing about it
I dunno. She might have a problem spewing about it. Especially if you're unavailable to hear it. But I think you're right - she doesn't understand and won't even when things happen. May as well beat your head on the wall for all the good it will do. At least you'll get some cardio out of it.
As for the lawyer? I'm sure you'll deal with it. If anyone is going to understand the value of a contract, it's a lawyer
Stay focused on you and your daughters. Give yourself that gift and know that the rest will work itself out regardless of what she thinks, says, or otherwise feels entitled to.
