Green, Sorry this is happening like this to you. It sounds like your husband was trying to serve you the divorce papers. It may be different in your state, but in mine this can't come directly from your current husband. It would have to come in the mail from his attorney or be brought to you by someone hired by a lawyer (I think a law enforcement type person). So it seems strange that he could just hand you something.

No matter what was given to you, I strongly recommend you contact a lawyer immediately. I understand that seems expensive and scarey, but this is very very important. You need to be informed of your rights and take the steps necessary to protect them. There are many options for people who feel they can not afford an attorney. Sorry I don't have the websites/phone numbers with me. But search the internet and call your county office. They'll be able to help.
