It matters a lot what state you're in. I'll answer it as though you're in Texas. Yes, you can file the Petition by mail to get the divorce started, but it's highly unusual for the judge to sign the final papers without either husband or wife standing before the judge with agreed papers to be signed, and it'd be difficult for you to do that while locked up. The judge won't sign a capias or bench warrant to have you brought before him/her to finalize the divorce.

The filing is usually waived for hardship. the rest is free. Get the forms from family law court in your area & the form for exemption of filing fee you. They may have printables online. The only tricky part is who will file since that generally must be done in person & someone must serve other party.

They can apply for legal aid just like anyone else can. They may stand more of a chance due to having no income. However, if they have money on the outside they may have to resort to that.

How does an inmate file for divorce in Texas?

You file for divorce in prison the same way you would file if you were not in prison. The main problem you have is availability of resources. Get a good friend to mail you everything you need. I would recommend a divorce kit from your local Office Max or Office Depot.

How does a federal inmate file for divorce for free?

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.
