2 Step Verfication on a broken phone.

A little while I go I setup two step verification on my account to stop my ex wife from accessing my email, recently the phone I was using broke along with the sim card. I have went through the account recovery but its asking me to wait 30 days, now if I didn't urgently need access to the account I wouldn't normally bother, but I have something ongoing relating to my ex wife and need access to the account, but one of the largest companies in the world is telling me they have no physical way to remove the two step verification to allow me access, why this is funny is because I have read posts of google granting access to some of its account holders when similar things have happened. I am wanting to know if there is any other way I can get access to the account.
