You must file for divorce and have a court enter a divorce decree with provisions indicating the division of assets, debts, waivers of spousal support etc.. If you have an agreement with your spouse, both parties may include their stipulations in a Marital Termination Agreement that is filed with the court.
Given the length of the marriage, you would be wise to have an attorney draft your documents. Though the process can be simple, there are many potential pitfalls.
