Naturally, we haven't spent as much time together as I would like, but the communication as been limited as well. Should I take that as a sign to back off or give him time to recuperate?

It seems he has a lot on his plate at the moment and with him having financial troubles he would obviously feel obliged to pay if you went on a date which he cannot afford at this moment in time. Give him space and if he wants you he'll make an effort and if not move on :) good luck

Chances are, he may need to put in extra hours, or take on a part-time job to make ends meet.
This is bad timing. You may be stepping into baby-mama drama. He may also need to spend more time with his children. His ex may be on to you, and turning up the heat.
A broke divorcee with kids is a very bad choice!!!
I'm not sure of what you mean about giving him time to recuperate? How long are you willing to put your life on hold and wait? Backing off and moving on might be a better idea.
