Q: Can you someone help me with a dissolution with children, little to no income

My husband and I have been living apart for almost 5 years now. He lives in Pennsylvania and I live in Ohio he has physical custody of our son. I need help with getting a dissolution we share no assets. I need financial aid help in getting a dissolution. I have little to no money to do so. Since this is my first ever marriage I am new to the whole dissolution thing and how it works. Can someone assist me in getting the process started and what steps I need to take? Thank you for your time!
