If you have worked out the financial details, and any issues involving children, and if you have the requisite grounds, which generally means you've been separated for at least a year by consent or otherwise for 2 years, one of you must file a complaint for divorce in the circuit court of the county where either of you lives. An experienced family attorney can assist you in preparing the legal papers properly and making sure all requirements are met. If you have not resolved financial or child issues, then you definitely need to consult an attorney who can help you resolve these issues.
