I imagine I won't hear from my lawyer until Monday, which is not soon enough for me.

You don't need your marriage certificate to get a divorce. Mine was 2100 miles away & I never needed it to file or to get the divorce.
Basically you fill out a form & you pay to have it filed with the court....you also have to pay to have him served with the papers. Best to hire this to be done. In my case they mailed it registered mail. I had a stupid husband who refused to respond to the first notice so in my state they had to hire a 2nd lawyer just to serve him a 2nd time & he still never responded so they got a court hearing date & the judge just gave me everything that was mine where I live because I had another case against him in the state we lived it because he stole the money from the sale of the house & the judge here had no ability to deal with that. 3 years later I am divorced but still in a legal battle there....but that is not a normal situation. It usually is over easy with just the final dissolution of marriage hearing. Really easy especially when there are no marriage assets to divide
