How do I divorce an inmate in TexasAnswerdivorce an inmate in Texas
One way is to contact the civil division of the Sheriff's office in the county that the inmate is housed. If you are not sure about the county the prison is in, you can call the Department of Corrections and ask.
An inmate can be served divorce papers while in a California prison from a spouse in Oregon. An attorney will need to be hired to file the paperwork in the state of Oregon.
Essentially, the procedures are the same as if he were not an inmate. You will file the divorce. He will be served papers. Where it differs is he may not be (likely will not be) writted out so that he can attend any court hearings.
It is really quite easy to divorce a prison inmate in the state of Alabama. First, one would need to retain a lawyer. Then the lawyer will file the necessary paperwork to get the divorce started.
The inmate has to ask for a law clerk to first draw up the papers, be sure to include an "indignet" (not sure on spelling) paper. The divorce papers and the other form are then submitted to the clerk of the court in the county in which that inmate is residing ( for instance if he were at Polk C.I. he'd send them to Bartow). I believe the fee is $1.00. I know for a spouse to file to divorce an inmate the cost is a dollar.
My wife's son was sent money to obtain a divorce while in Prison in Missouri, he kept the money and told his Grandmother that Missouri didn't do that anymore, I'm wanting proof that I can print off to show his Grandmother that he is lying to her.
The process is the same as if the person being served were not incarcerated. The party requesting the dissolution of the marriage files suit in the state court in the county in which he or she currently resides.
If the prisoner is not going to contest the divorce, have the spouse file for an un-contested divorce in their local court. The case will eventually be heard and if the prisoner returns all the completed paperwork that he will be sent, there should be no problem with it.
File for divorce in the state where you currently live. The states have reciprocal agreements for these sorts of legal matters.

A California prison inmate can initiate divorce proceedings by contacting a divorce lawyer. It will proceed normally from there.
