If you want a divorce, a divorce for someone informally married is the same as for one who is formally married.  Some people start by calling attorneys and consulting with a few attorneys to find out what the rights and options are.  If there are children, those children and provisions about their support, possession schedule, health and dental insurance as well as the rights and duties of each parent must be included in your final decree of divorce.  There are online resources if you intend to do it yourself.  One is Texaslawhelp.org, which has forms and instructions for do it yourselfers.  If you find you are unable to complete the forms, you should try to consult with an attorney who may review your decree and charge a modest fee for that.  If you and your spouse are unable to agree on the terms, then you will likely want to involve an attorney to represent you (only one of you) and to set a hearing to argue for your side of the disputed issues.
