My husband is a crackhead and I want out. I have no money at all. How do I get a divorce?

You can file yourself. You can find documents online. There's also a kit you can buy a "no fault divorce kit" but that does cost money, like $35.00.
You will also have to pay to file at the courthouse. You might talk to DHS or something in your state to find out if they have some sort of community action project that helps with these kinds of things.
If there isn't community property then it should be easier than if you share cars/house/kids etc...
Unfortunately if they don't have some sort of community action thing in your state, you might be up a creek and you will have to shell out a few dollars. It should be less than $100 though.

1) Call the library. Say you have a research question. Ask for the Women's Shelter. You will never have the money until you get shelter, because as you know he will take it.
2) Go to the police station. Make an appointment with the sheriff. 3) If you are genuinely straight, you have some straight friends and family who would Love to help make this happen! Tell them you're ready.
4) Church, or Salvation Army. You don't have to be a member.
5) See your Army recruiter.

You get a job and save for an attorney like the rest of society does. Sorry your husband is a crackhead, and I know you want out, but attorneys aren't cheap or free, and I doubt seriously you would qualify for legal aid since you aren't facing anything they would consider dire.

Basically do it yourself, its not thathard especially if there are no children. It will cost you the filing fee which isnt very much around 150 or so because you are filing first. You may also contact your local legal aid assoc. and explain your situation emphasising that youre afraid of your drug husband. Good luck

look up Prairie State Legal Services. They can help with low cost to no cost divorce depending on your circumstances. It is worth looking into.

I dont know where you are from but here in Australia we have a program called Legal Aid... they assist with this sort of thing.
Perhaps you could try asking at your local dole/pension/social security office what they would suggest?

your main concern should be getting away from him and getting on your feet so that you can pay for the divorce! I know you want away...far away so seperate until you can pay for the divorce! Good luck
