if your spouse is willing to co-operate, both of you would be far better off and you appear to have the legal knowledge, you can buy a divorce kit for around $15.00, total court and filing fees would be under $200.00 as you probably know, but if you can't reason with your spouse, get prepared to be a wounded animal on the side of the road and have your bones picked dry by experts.
I just hope your state doesn't have the "no-fault" divorce rules, one spouse can be committing adultery, using the household funds for drinking, gambling, whatever, not contributing to the support and welfare of the children and still be entitled to 50% of that last can of beans left on the shelve. Don't get me wrong, I raised all hell from the governor on down, I am assured that new divorce laws are in the process. Was a new and bad experience, never knew there was so many people making a darn good living off of the misfortunes of others, I could never earn, or should I say steal a living in that manner. I do feel for you.
