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.
How can you get a divorce when you reside in Georgia and your wife is in prison in Florida?
For a Georgia divorce, or any other state for that matter, you can obtain a divorce and it is not necessary for the other party to agree or even appear. As long as you meet the residency requirement, you can file for a divorce. You would have to have a process server go to the prison and serve her with the petition for your Georgia divorce but that is not all that unusual, it happens fairly often. However, I would retain a Georgia divorce attorney to assist you under these circumstances.

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.
