How to get divorced when you have no for lawyer

I haven’t lived with my wife for over 25
years. I have not gotten a divorce
because I have no funds. I have signed
paperwork that she has drawn up 2 or 3
times but she never follows through with
it.

Since money is an issue, you can see if you qualify for reesentation by Legal Aid. You can also see if there is a law school in your area as they typically run legal clinics that take such cases. Additionally, you can check with your city/state bar asscociation and see if they have a list of attorneys who will represent you "poro bono" (i.e. for free) depending on your income/circumstances. Finally, you can file yourself for a divorce yourself; check online for specific state procedres for this.
