Can you divorce a husband that's in prison?
Yes you can. The process is different because one individual is incarcerated and would not be able to attend the court precedings. You can send the divorce papers to them through the mail yourself or have it sent through a lawyers office as legal mail. The incarcerated individual would then sign the papers and send them back so that your can file the papers with the court and get your divorce.
Can you search divorce records for free?
Yes. You can visit the court and look up names in the index. You should check the index at the court where the action was filed. As you explained your situation on the discussion page, "you have never signed divorce papers". Not signing divorce papers doesn't halt a divorce. Your case may have been dismissed for lack of further action. The divorce may have been granted if you failed to appear or were unable to be notified by mail. A quick check in the court index will reveal the disposition of the case.
If you were never served with the divorce papers but the court granted your spouse a divorce by default are you legally divorced?
There is a process that has to be followed in court cases like this. If someone cannot be served papers, there is "public notification" that can be published in the local newspapers and the court will mail a notice to the last known address. If there is no response at the scheduled hearing, the court can allow the case to proceed. The first order of the case is too see if the proper procedure was followed. If it was then the court can rule that a default exists and the divorce is granted. One of the parties has to be present and a judgment will be entered into the court records. If the court granted a divorce then the answer is yes. You are legally divorced. You can contact the court and request a copy of the decree.
Fail to respond to divorce papers served by mail?
When you fail to respond to divorce papers served by mail, the court issues what is known as a "default" in the case, for failure to respond. When a default is issued, the judge will more than likely grant the petitioner what they are asking for in the petition. A divorce and any assets or any other special consideration and custody. For instance, if the person is asking for exclusive use of the marital home or temporary relief, the judge will grant that along with the divorce.
Can you get emancipation papers sent to your house?

The process server will have to mail the documents and type out an affidavit of service stating that he served the respondent.
