Divorcing someone in prison..

[LIZROCKS]

Hello,
My sister in law wants some info on how she can divorce someone in prison and my friend who is in prison wants to divorce his wife? Does anyone know the website where they can do it for $1?

There is no web site that it can be done for 17 dollars.....if your sister in law has power of attorney over her husband,,,its easy...she can sign his name as his attorney in fact.
As far as a prisoner divorcing his wife.....that would be very difficult.

ACTUALLY, MY HUSBAND IS IN PRISON AND WHEN HE WAS ABOUT 6 YRS AGO HE DIVORCED HIS WIFE! WHAT HE DID WAS HAD SOMEONE PUT AN AD IN THE NEWS PAPER IN THE AREA HE WAS AT IN PRISON AND AFTER 30 DAYS I THINK IF ITS NOT ANSWERED (LOOKING FOR SPOUSE) ITS GRANTED OR SOMETHING, ALL I KNOW IS ITS FREE IN JAIL AND NOT HARD AT ALL! THAT I DO KNOW DUE TO I HAD ASKED FOR ONE A WHILE BACK AND DECIDED AGAINST IT, (damn hormones haha)

My friend wants to divorce his wife they got married when he was in prison and she was a worker at the prison. I wonder what my friend could do? D they have to get a divorce since they never seen a judge they just both signed papers saying they are married. Please help i need to help my friend.Do you think they can just get it done by putting it in the paper.

No actually it isnt hard at all for the prisoner to divorce his wife. 2 years ago well around there my ex husband was in prison and he filed against me. it cost him 80 dollars. We didnt have anything to fight about cause we were spilt up for 3 years before that and i already had the kids. We did it our selfs and on my part it was me doing all the paper work and stuff but well worth it in the end. They might be able to get the 80 dollars waved if they can prove they dont have the money to pay.

By the way you can get books to do it yourself at the library.

I have lots of questions on lots of stuff. Divorce, my nephew is in prision in Michigan and is going to the law library to find out about getting a divorce from his wife. He hasn't heard from her since september and when I call she won't answer the phone any more. She is out having a good time from what her facebook page says, and is in love? He has signed Power of Attorney financial papers for my husband. What happens to his stuff that she still has? Are we able to go get it. Right now she is selling it and he has fines and fees to pay? She won't give us his stuff. If he gets a divorce can we go and get it with the POA papers? Can we or will we have to force her to give us what is left? She sold a 2500.00 motorcycle for 450.00? Been a big headache for us.

my husband messed up and divorced me (haha i didnt even know he did it haha) and married a girl who was gonna testify against him if he didnt marry her... well now he is in prison in Florida and he signed the power of attroney for me so I can file the divorce... well actualyl his lawyer is gonna do it for me for free =) yayyy... but ask him to look into it... its not hard for him to find out

He said that someone told him it would cost him a dollar to get divorced because he is in jail? He is going to the law library to find out about it.
Someone told me that if she just doesn't give us what is left of his stuff after the divorce that we would have to bring legal procedings against her to get it? Any one know how this kind of thing works? What about everything that she is selling in the mean time? What a mess!
