If you're in the US, you can contest it, and it will delay things, but it won't do you any good in the long run--a judge will not and cannot force someone to remain married if they don't want to be married.

If your spouse is in prison and wants a divorce can you contest it?
Yes, you have a legal opportunity to contest a divorce and the fact that your spouse is in prison (although that complicates things) doesnt really matter in this instance. However, when one spouse want s a divorce and goes through the motions of filing all the proper paperwork, etc there is not any way to really stop it absent a reconciliation. This is because the law views divorce as a partnership contract and you cannot keep someone in a contract against their will.

My wife was deported back to Germany because of wrong activities I met her in Atlanta how do you divorce her?
File a petition for divorce in your local Clerk Of Court office. If your wife does not contest it, it should not be THAT difficult - however if she does contest it, or she wants to extort money from you in order to grant it to you, you may have a problem that will require an attorney skilled in these matters. But, in the meantime, at least go ahead and get started by filing the divorce petition and see what happens from there.

If a man wants a divorce but his wife does not what will happen in the state of Michigan if she contests the divorce?
Michigan is a no-fault state. This means that you do not need to plead any grounds for divorce beyond the statutory words (i.e. 'There have been a breakdown...'). This also means that since you do not need to contest grounds for divorce there is never a trial held for the matter of the divorce itself. Simply, the divorce will happen, no matter what, even if the other party never responds to it. What the other party can contest, however, is the division of property and debts as well as custody of the children. In a divorce, all of the delay comes from dividing property and the children, and when there is a trial it is entirely about what property is marital property and marital debts and how those are divided. However, while Michigan is a no-fault state the relative fault of the parties in causing the divorce (e.g. adultery, abuse, etc.) can be a factor in divising property and can effect custody. But while this might change the relative allocation it will in no way stop the divorce from happening.
