ADVICE How do I get divorced?

My wife has left me. We have been married for only a little over a year. I’m not working due to health issues so I literally have no money. I have no income and no savings, and completely overwhelmed by what I should do or am supposed to do. Does anyone have any resources that outline things in a simple way? Advice? I’ve tried doing research myself but I just can’t make any sense of anything.

Because I know people will make the assumption, I’m a woman. I’m not a man.

I’m in ma and filed for divorce on my own. We did not have any joint accounts and my kids were over 18. I used a website for the paperwork. It did cost some money but it was cheaper than hiring a lawyer. Let me see if I can find the website I used. Also look at your local family probate court as they will tell you what paperwork is required.
