Divorce petition will have to be filed in court, through a legal notice it can be ascertained if he is agreeable to the divorce , if so a Mutual Consent Divorce Petition can be filed if he is not ready for the divorce then a contested divorce petition from your side will have to be filed. Your children I assume are adults now so no issue of custody. You can be represented in court throgh a holder of power of attorney.

If you both are ready for divorce you can file divorce by Mutual Consent or if he is not ready for divorce you can file divorce on the ground of mental and physical cruelty or you can file divorce on the ground of adultery.

You didn't specify about your religion, place of marriage. These aspect are very necessary to decide the provision and jurisdiction of filing divorce case. Whether you got married with him in India or abroad.
