I would strongly recommend your brother become a sales men and convince her to not go to court. Go to a mediator or even do the divorce themselves.
I divorced my first wife after 16 months. We bought a book from NoLo press which I would also recommend and did the divorce ourselves. We did not have kids though. It was also in Cal so our laws might not translate.
It sounds like their assets are somewhat limited so their issue will be child support and custody. If he can educate her to the fact that lawyers are incenpted to argue against every settlement opportunity they might be able to work it themselves.
They are in a more difficult situation than I was because we didn't have kids. Because of that, he will be involved with her on some level for the rest of his kids life. They are need to agree on things down the road.
I say all of this 7 years removed. It was tough back then.
