They wills sign off on it and take care of channelling it through the court. I did this with my first divorce. It cost me a total of $500. But there was no property to haggle over.
On the matter of alimony. I hate to tell you this but you may not be entitled to it. Here, one generally doesn't get it - unless you haven't worked during the relationship and your spouse took on all responsibility for the household.

Im not sure where your reference to "here" is. I'm in Australia.
As far as selling goes - a judge would give me one of two choices -
Sell and we split the sale between us at an agreed percentage -
Or I have the option of buying his portion of the house <- totally not possible on my income.
As far as the actual divorce goes, that's the least of my worries.
It's the division of assets and property selling that freaks me out.
