You don't have to go through lawyers. It's constructive desertion. If two parties agree, they can go through a simple divorce and the process should be relatively straightforward, so long as there are no major disputes over custody, marital property, maintenance/alimony, and the like.
Generally, the two parties will have to have been living apart, or, demonstrate an intent to stay apart (i.e. sleeping in separate rooms), and a court will grant a divorce on grounds of constructive desertion (or whatever the hell the term is).
More and more couples go to court pro se these days. You don't necessarily need a lawyer to divorce, although it certainly helps to have someone who knows the law to streamline your case. I cringe when I watch pro se litigants ramble on about an immaterial issue.
This is not intended to be legal advice, and any information here should be confirmed with a bar licensed attorney in your state.
