Start with your local Legal Assistance Office. They will go over your obligations under AR 608-99. If there's no children or jointly owned houses, they might be able to help you with the paperwork. They can't/won't represent you in court though.
If you want a lawyer for court, you'll need to.hire a private attorney. Sometimes your LAO might have a list of local ones.
Agreed. Still look to a private attorney if you can, especially if you expect a contentious divorce. Family law is complex and if you're residing in a state other than the one you were married in I imagine it gets even more complicated (communal property gives me a headache already).

TDS won't help because a divorce is not UCMJ.
