Seeking advice for ROC (Divorced)

Unfortunately our marriage ended though bitter experience in 09/2017. We dated for 4 months, got married 10/2015, received Cond. GC 09/2016. We started having issue from 04/2017 and started living separate since 05/2017. My ex-wife filed for divorce 07/2017; and that was finalized in September 2017. Note: I was at USA on Student visa (expiring 2019) and we both were going same school. 
We definitely loved each other and married for making a perpetual bond for this life. I tried my all best to save our relation; through friends and family advice, marriage counselors and other sources. But her mind was completely moved out; even she clearly mentioned she were not having any love or emotion for me. I understood, decided to try to solve issues but nothing turned good. Rather something bad came up as a result; some of her involvements with her ex-bf and things really turned rude and nasty. I did not fight for anything in divorce; rather I gave her everything we had since I really loved her and honestly still I do. I know it sounds dumb but I really loved her. 
I really don't know what happened during the process of divorce; somehow she ended up complaining at USCIS local office against me (Her sole intention was to withdraw her affidavit of support on me). I never did anything wrong or never had any questionable issue in our relation; I am sure she was provoked to do so by someone. She was scared if I could claim support from her which I never did or ever will do. I am totally on the dark side what damages her complain did to my status or towards my upcoming application of ROC because we don't have any contact now. 
My CGC expires on 09/2018. I went to some lawyers and also went through some threads here. I have 4 questions only:

1. Do I need to hire a lawyer to be safe regarding ROC? Or I can just fill out the forms and add the related proofs, then send to USCIS? I hope my provided list of evidences can help to advice regarding lawyer issue.
2. I have some bonafide-marriage evidences which are below: Are these evidences okay or enough? Or any other evidences required?
Joint Apt. Lease, Joint Utility bills, Joint 2 bank accounts, 2 years Joint tax return, title and loan documents of 3 joint cars, Joint Car insurance, 2 months Joint health insurance (later I could not afford)
Some government agencies letters to our common address and under our joint names, marriage counseling papers, T-mobile joint accounts with her family members in plan. 

Our hotel vouchers during travel, some couple and family pictures (she had most pictures and she did not provide me those when I asked her during living separate), spouse card from her employer Walmart and Sam's club, my emails to her during living separate, our all chats and communication histories, affidavits from neighbors and home owners- mutual friends (No affidavit from her family because I asked one time but they did not cooperate; I am not comfortable begging to them)
3. Is there any issue if I submit ROC application before CG expiry? Or I have to submit immediately since the divorce has been finalized?
4. As I said- We are not in contact and I really don't know what she did at USCIS local office. Can her any step do potential damages to my status/or upcoming application? I am confident about my honesty and relation; but I am worried if she misrepresents any thing under influence. 

Any help appreciated; God bless.

1) you can do it yourself

2) that sounds like some good evidence to be honest.  

3) You can do it anytime between the divorce finalizing and the green card expiring.  However, because ROC is taking about a year, I suggest sooner than later

4) No they can't.  She couldn't pull her affidavit of support after your green card was approved and considering the positive evidence you do have, I wouldn't worry about what she may or may not have said.  The USCIS is used to disgruntled spouses.

Thanks for the kind reply.
Any documents suggestion that can help my application? Like any specific evidence that I can add? I tried for one affidavit from my ex, but she is not cooperating; honestly she does not care about my application. I tried to get one from her family; they did not say No or Yes-- they just said we will talk to her. 
I have 2 affidavits from our mutual friends, neighbors and one from land lord. I can get one/two from my family (but they don't live here at USA). Any advice regarding this issue? 
Thanks in advance
