All divorces begin with a divorce complaint. That is the procedure to seek relief from the court which in this case is a divorce decree. If you have been separated at least 2 years, you can then file an affidavit of separation which must be served on your spouse. You also have to provide 20 days notice that you intend to request a divorce decree.
I never recommend filing a divorce without an attorney as the rules can be confusing and it can be very affordable for a lawyer to do it.
