You can file for divorce without his approval. The lawyer will serve your spouse with the papers in prison and usually anyone in prison will grant the divorce. If he should refuse the law is basically on your side, but if you have children other provisions may have to be made because he is the father of those children and the courts would have to decide that.

∙ 13y agoYou divorce a Florida inmate by filing for a divorce just like you would divorce anyone else. See a lawyer. There are provisions for the inmate to talk to the judge over the phone from the prison. There are even provisions for an inmate to come to court in a deputy sheriff's car. That costs money. At one time the charge was by the number of county lines crossed. Usually that is not necessary. Still, step one is to see a lawyer. The process is simple as far as a lawyer familiar with the process is concerned. It is done all the time.

∙ 14y agoThe best way to file for divorce is to see a divorce lawyer. It does not matter if your spouse is in jail or not. In the United States depositions have been taken in jail and court hearings have been held over the phone. If your spouse is in jail in the same county, then your spouse can be brought to court. It is done all the time. You can also file your own papers in the United States. That is more difficult. It is usually done when there is no money and no children, just a desire to end a marriage.

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.

Can a prison inmate in Florida file for divorce without going to courtwhat about the cost of the divorcehow can he pay?
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.
