You must first file for divorce, then the papers have to be served to the inmate. If you use the sheriff or a professional to serve the papers, or if you serve them yourself, they must first go to a prison official.

The court is likely to reserve child support while the person is in prison, putting the inmate under no obligation while they are incarcerated.
