More details to this question:
I am a lesbian. I got married to a girl years ago and like one month later, we had a bad break up. She had a no contact order on me. I stopped talking to her and move to another state. I have been in the east coast over 6 years and I don’t even talk to that girl. She still lives in the same state. I want a divorce because I want to marry my girlfriend that I have now. My fiancé and I have been together a little over 4 years now.

You can file for divorce where you are a legal resident. If you can't find the other person to serve the papers, the court has a process whereby you can get an order to publish in the city of the last known address of the other person. You can probably use a paralegal to help and not have to hire an attorney for this.
