Can an inmate who received a life sentence contest a divorce in Florida?

The State of Florida is a no-fault divorce state, meaning the court will not assign fault to either party for the divorce. Neither spouse can prevent the other from obtaining a divorce. Marriage is not a prison and an inmate who is incarcerated for life cannot impose a life sentence on their spouse. She/he has the right to move on with their life. The inmate does not have to consent to the divorce.

Live in Mississippi and spouse will not give divorce no children and MS court ordered you to pay separate maintenance if you move to Florida for a divorce will you still have to pay s maintenance?
If you were living in Mississippi at the time you were ordered to pay separate maintenance, and then you move to Florida, you can file a motion to contest it after you have lived in Florida for a specific amount of time. A Florida attorney can advise you as to how long you have to live in Florida before you can file a motion to contest the spousal (separate) maintenance. As for your spouse refusing to give you a divorce, you can get one anyway. A judge cannot order you to remain married to someone you no longer wish to be married to, whether you have children or not. Again, a Florida attorney can advise you on that, as well.

It all depends on what state you live in. States like Florida that are a No-Fault divorce state wont require any reason for a divorce. Which means they can contest it all they want, but it won't do them any good. You can divorce for any reason as long as one person says it is over. In other states that aren't a No-Fault state you will need a reason for filing for Divorce, such as infidelity, abuse ect.
