First I think a little back story would be a good idea. In 2003 I was involved with a military guy when he was told he was going to be sent to Iraq. Of course looking back on it I can see we only married because we were afraid and panicked at the thought of him being overseas. But in any case, we married and about two and a half months later, while he was in Wisconsin waiting to be deployed he came up with some crazy excuse that I hadn't been faithful, and declared that he wanted to get a divorce. Now, he's since admitted that the real reason he wanted to get divorced was because he was afraid of being tied down at 21. But at the time I insisted that he take care of it. That was four years ago. Some of it has been both because of a lack of finances and also because for a good while neither of us cared.
Now, both of us have moved on and are in serious relationships with other people. And I am tired of waiting for him to get his act together and do it.
All in all this is a very simple thing, there's no children, no property, no debts, we haven't even shared an address since the first two months of our marriage.
I cannot believe that there is no information about getting this taken care of simply. If anyone has any ideas, please, let me know.
The other thing is that I'm a single mom, (to a different guy) and simple do not have the hundreds of dollars needed to pay for lawyers, and court fees, etc...
All I'm looking for is a way to have a paper signed by the both of us saying that the marriage was a mistake, and it never should have happened in the first place.
If anyone has any information I'll be eternally grateful.

It IS a great link, and I don't know what $50 you're talking about, unless it's a filing fee. I went through some of the links on that page, and nothing asked for money. You can do this pro-se.
