You did not mention how long you were married. If it is less than 5 years and you have no children you can file for a Summary Dissolution. If you have been married longer than 5 years or don't meet all the requirements, you can file an uncontested divorce. You can find information on most court websites or visit the court facilitator to get free assistance.

With his cooperation you can file where you live and apply for a fee waiver to keep your costs down. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator to assist you with the form preparation.

You should file the Petition for dissolution here and there is a form he can sign acknowledging that he was served with the Petition.

You need $ for an attorney to help. If married less than 5 years, no real estate, no children check out the forms on summary divorce.
