It yo are both willing to divorce without any disagreement as far as properties and possessions, that just go to your county courthouse and file there. You might need a lawyer but if it's all uncontested it shouldn't be a big deal. As far as the child, you both need to be in aggreement as far as custody goes or it can get really ugly. Otherwise, it's just a matter of paying a certain amount of money (not exactly sure how much), and signing a few papers.
If you are having custody issues, you better find a good lawyer who can fight for you.
Good luck!!

First of all, DO NOT HIRE A PARALEGAL. If a paralegal fills out all of your paper and files it for you, they are practicing law without a license. As a lawyer, I have had to go back and correct the paperwork several times - at a larger cost to my clients than it would have been if they had come to me in the first place. And I was a paralegal for many years before becoming a lawyer.
Second, there are several ways you can do a divorce yourself. You can go to the Courthouse and purchase a package of materials so that the two of you can file as co-petitioners. In several states, the Judicial department publishes the forms and the instructions on the Internet for a do it yourself divorce. If you are in agreement on all issues, you can fill out everything yourself. If you disagree on one or two subjects, you might want to go to a mediator to work out your differences - they are listed in the yellow pages.
If the two of you cannot agree on anything, or if there is an issue regarding child support, you might want to go to a lawyer. Lawyer fees are wildly divergent, so you need to call around to find one that you like and that you can afford.

IS IT CONTESTED OR NON CONTESTED???? You first have to know this....non contested is the easiest quickest divorce...it means that you two have come to a complete agreement on everything that came with the marraige such as who gets the house the cars the kid and so forth and you file as Irreconcilable differences . Contested means that you two do not agree on who gets the kid or visitation times or what have you. If ya'll have come to an agreement...(non contested) please email me...I will do your paperwork for you...(for cheap) all you will have to do then is file it your self at your local courthouse...(and pay for the filing fee) then you get a court date...and both of you go to court without representation and the hassle of a lawyer it is the easiest and the cheapest....( I was a paralegal for 3 years)....

Never ever get a child involved in Divorce, that's never a good idea. See a lawyer about divorce its faster and easier for them to handle it for you.

look in the yellow pages for a paralegal, they do it for cheap if you are both in agreement, even file the papers,, one will be the petitioner and one the respondant, for under 300 bucks you can get it done,, I suggest never getting married again either, that way when it happens again you can just walk away

hire a lawyer or call legal aid, and your kid already knows if they are not a baby, cause kids arent that stupid, you need to be honest, but not too honest, just tell the kid, daddy and i are better friends, dont fight or bad mouth the other in the presence of the child
