The legal basis, or grounds, for a divorce do not control the quickness of obtaining the divorce. Depending on the actual facts of the case, and your ability to work with your counsel, it could take a couple of months to get an order for service by publication, have the notice published, and gain the final divorce. That is assuming that you husband does not respond and fight in any way.
As you have financial difficulties, perhaps your family could assist.
You really should find an experienced family law attorney with whom you feel comfortable. I have handled such cases, and am currently prosecuting a similar type of action where alternate service, rather than personal service, is required.
