Can I hire an attorney and serve her with divorce papers without any money?

If you're indigent the court may appoint an attorney for you. Otherwise you will have to hire an attorney, and none of which I'm aware works for free.

The easy answer is contact a divorce lawyer. Review your.finances and determine your budget so you don't commit to something you can't afford. Some lawyers charge extremely high hourly rates so shop around. If you can't afford a lawyer, you may qualify for a low cost one through the court system. If you want to do it youself, there are websites maintained by the court system that contain forms with detailed instructions. Keep in mind that the amount of paperwork required even in an uncontested divorce is enormous. Finally, if you can get your spouse to agree to mediate an agreement, that will save a huge amount of time, money and grief. I highly recommend mediation but with a lawyer - NOT with a non lawyer. It's crucial that your mediator be able to give a good answer to the question "what would happen if we let a judge decide this?" Good luck!

Separated 6 yrs. Husb lives in house and has been paying on a modification for 5 yrs. Papers received for new terms. I don't want to sign.

This is complicated and depends on many factors. Do you still have equity in the house? Do you earn more money than he does and would you be paying him spousal support in a divorce? Who's been paying the mortgage and taxes since you left? Ideally you should get your name off the deed and loan and if he wants to stay in the house he should find a new co-signer for the modification. But if you have equity you need to be compensated for your share. Much more information is needed in order to answer your questions.
