What kind of forms do I need to get to file for dissolution of marriage?

The appropriate forms and paperwork for the dissolution of marriage are going to vary based on the state where you live and on the type of divorce that you are getting. For example, if you and your spouse have already worked every detail out and you are getting a no fault, uncontested divorce in states that provide for such a divorce, then you will need to submit your completed settlement information to the court to sign off on. If you are litigating the issues, then you'll need to submit a petition for divorce or a motion for divorce to the court. You may also need to have your spouse properly notified or served with divorce papers to either begin the proceeding or to finalize the divorce. 

Because the rules are different in different states and the circumstances different in different divorces, there is no one set of "one-size-fits-all" paperwork that you can just complete and turn in when you want to end your marriage. As such, you should strongly consider getting legal help if you are planning on getting a divorce.

it is important to note that there are sometimes kits or software programs for sale that are considered "do it yourself" divorce kits that may promise you all the paperwork and documents you need to get a divorce. Remember, however, that these are just generic kits that may or may not actually provide you with everything you need and that certainly won't do anything to help you make sure your rights are protected during the divorce. 

There is simply no substitute for getting the proper legal help from an attorney to make sure you have completed the right paperwork and that everything is done right.
