Divorces can be complex and obviously will have lasting implications for the parties; therefore, the best first step is to select an attorney to represent you.

You file a Petition for Divorce. However, it needs to be worded correctly, you need to meet residency requirements, etc. In short, don't try this yourself. If you botch it, you may have to live with the unfortunate results for a long time. Hire an attorney.

Step one is to see a lawyer. What happens next depends on details you did not post (procedures vary by county, whether there are children, assets, debts, whether parties agree, etc). If you're in metro Atlanta, contact me to discuss your case.
