I live in Ohio. My husband is going to jail for not fileing or paying his city taxes for 5 years. I don't know yet how long he will be serving, but I want a divorce. How do I go about it? He may be in for longer if they catch him on his state and federal for the same years. Does this make any difference to anything?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Are you sure that he is going to jail? Its generally pretty rare for a taxing authority to actually send someone to jail, because if they are in jail they cannot be generating any income to pay the tax.
Jail is usually reserved for very high profile cases or cases of serious fraud.
In any case, you file for divorce the same way that anyone else would file for divorce, preferibly with an attorney.
You also need to make sure that YOUR taxes are all in order.
