I suggest finding a paralegal at the very least. I know here in the states there are people who will help with the paper work and you file it. If you have property or children in this marriage I strongly suggest you get a lawyer.

Most regions will allow a person to file for divorce without hiring an attorney. If there is nothing to contest, and no children or alimony to worry about, the divorce can proceed rather simply and be handled entirely without the expense of retaining a lawyer. If either part starts bickering about custody issues and/or property issues, then it becomes much more complex and a lawyer will be needed to sort everything out.
