Every bit as important as the technical steps are the things that need to be done to protect your interests in the months prior to getting a divorce. You should discuss the situation with a local attorney...

To get a divorce under No Fault grounds (irretrievable breakdown) you need to have a breakdown in the marriage for at least 6 months. This means if you want a No Fault divorce, you will need to wait 5 months. If you want to start the process now, you could instead claim "cruel and inhuman treatment" as your reason for the divorce, as there is no time requirement for those grounds. Talk to a lawyer about your situation. Good luck.
