Your boyfriend is in a Florida prison will prison officials help him get a divorce?

No. An inmate does not have special privileges concerning civil matters such as a divorce. He will have to file a dissolution petition under the laws of the state in which he was a resident before he was incarcerated.

Prison officials typically do not assist inmates with divorce proceedings. Instead, your boyfriend would need to seek legal counsel or resources outside of the prison system to initiate the divorce process. It is advisable for him to consult with an attorney or look for legal aid organizations that offer assistance to inmates.

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.

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.
