Personally, I wouldn't use a lawyer in your case. If yall don't have a ton of property or kids to divide up, no lawyer is really needed. If I'm not mistaken you pay the $25 sherriff fee and the $25 or so filing fee, and you're off to the races.
You can also contact the county for them to refer you over to legal aid. I believe it's free too. Although that may take you longer to do it, but I think it's free.
To be honest, I'd borrow the little bit of money I needed (if you don't have it) and I'd go ahead and file the paperwork myself and be done with it. Let the sherriff's dept serve him at work or home, and then a court date will soon follow. You have your day in court, and voila! 30 days later you're done forever.
