Okay. Then you file the required forms, per the state's instructions:

File the forms, pay the filing fee, and need to serve your spouse. If there is a need for a temporary hearing, that can be requested at the time you file. That would be a hearing for any issues that need to be ruled on for the pendency of the divorce: bills, living arrangements, or anything else you need.
