A person cannot be denied a divorce, but the terms of the divorce can be contested which sometimes leads to a long and lengthy court battle. When a spouse is served with a dissolution of marriage summons and fails to respond the spouse seeking the divorce may petition the court for a motion of default. A judge will review the petition to be certain everything is in order, the judge may also choose to interview the filing spouse. After the judge is satisfied that proper procedures have been followed the divorce will be granted by default. The non-responsive spouse will be notified that the divorce has been granted and that they have forfeited their legal rights to contest any of the terms that were included in the original dissolution of marriage petition. These procedures apply whether a spouse is incarcerated, residing in another state or living outside the country. Be advised, a divorce granted by default does not relieve a spouse of the obligation of child support, that is a different issue.

How does an inmate file for divorce in Texas?

You file for divorce in prison the same way you would file if you were not in prison. The main problem you have is availability of resources. Get a good friend to mail you everything you need. I would recommend a divorce kit from your local Office Max or Office Depot.


In Texas Can an inmate file charges against another inmate while in jail for throwing urine on them and for verbally threatening to kill the inmate and inmate's family?

It is unlikely that they could file a valid criminal complaint against the other inmate but you could file an internal complaint with the jail administration.


How does a prisoner in the state of Florida file for divorce?

Inmates in Florida file for divorce the same way as inmates and noninmates in every state file for divorce, they submit a disolution of marriage motion to the court of jurisdiction (usually the court that has jurisdiction over your residency, but inmates may also be allowed to file in district or circuit courts in the state's capital), and pay the requisite fee. Because the DOC is unlikely to writ the inmate out for the court date, it would be best if the inmate contacted a lawyer on the outside, or signed a limited power of attorney for someone who could represent him/her at that date. There should be forms available in the law library. Also, inform the inmate that he/she should speak to the inmate law library clerk; this person's advice can be invaluable.

Do prisoners have the right to demand custodial parent to bring the children to visit?

No. An inmate has no right to demand anything. A foster parent does not need to interrupt his schedule to meet the demands of an inmate in prison. There might be a way that someone could pay for someone else to take the child to see the inmate in prison. That would be a different story. The inmate or his family would need to pay 100% of all costs. It would be expensive. The inmate can make no demands on a foster parent.

You are a federal inmate in SC who wants a divorce from your wife in NC?

Just wait until you get out, or if she wants it too it'd be a whole lot easier for her to file for it since she's not stuck in jail. ADDED: I notice that your question doesn't mention that SHE wants a divorce from you. Although it would probably be easier for her to file for divorce in NC (if she even wants one) it IS possible for you to do it 'Pro Se' while in federal custody in SC (It's a little more difficult - But HEY, you've got nothing but time, right?). If she wishes to contest your request for divorce and if the two of you have any children it could really open a can of worms. If you have access to any legal aid while in prison see if you can get an appointment to talk with them. You aren't the first person to ever get divorced while in jail, so, it CAN be done.
