I talked to him tonight and said that I will leave he said that is fine and do whatever you want. He doesn’t think that I am serious but it’s over I really don’t want anything from him because when we got married he already had a house. We have a child together and the only thing I may ask is for child support. I have recently started to work but my income is not enough $2000 net per month. I won’t have the luxury anymore but that ok I had enough and I don’t want us to disrespect each other anymore. I want to do it fast and very friendly without asking him anything more than child support. What is the best way to get divorce without a lawyer?

I searched online but there is many websites out there that you really don’t know which one is a right one to use. Some offer inexpensive fees for filling divorce online but you can’t see it unless you pay first and I don’t know if it does work or not. I don’t know if I apply for divorce and the documentation is not the right ones or if it is incompleted I should pay the fee to the court again or not.

 When there is a child involved you usually can't do the DYI (online) divorces. I would however suggest that you DO use one. Look around and see if you can find a pro bono or one that will do payments.
You need to have a custody agreement and childsupport agreement in order. It will be worth the money.

 I did what you did, just picked up what I could, plus the three kids, two cats and a dog. With hindsight I wish I had been more proactive in gaining some financial recompense for the time and effort I had put into the marriage.
As a minimum please at least make a preliminary enquiry with somebody qualified in the area of family law, I am not saying take everything he had before you were married, but your child does deserve more than life on what you can earn and if you are legally entitled to a portion of the house, take it for your child. Dont deprive your child a decent home just because you dont want to take anything of his.

Mediators are supposed to help make the divorce process a more cooperative one between the two separating people, rather than a competition and spite fest as attorneys will tend to do.
I'm not sure what your purpose is for not wanting a lawyer? is it to save on legal fees? I think you still need some kind of legal professional , you can't do a completely DIY divorce. (I don't think, but maybe I'm wrong)
