What is the name of your state? Texas

My boyfriend is in jail in the state of Texas and has asked me to help him get a divorce. I have filed the paperwork for him but I will have to represent him in court as his proxy. Is this legal or not?:confused:

It is absolutely legal...of course, I'm assuming that you've already passed the bar and been admitted to practice law in the state you are planning to do this in :rolleyes:

I suggest you find a "boyfriend" who doesn't already have a wife and who ISN'T in jail
