Filing for Divorce while Incarcerated

[mstee]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia

Hello, can you tell me how a person can file for divorce while incarcerated in Virginia? He has been locked up for 3 years so I was thinking that would have already been their separation time. They have no children. How could he go about filing for divorce (without a lawyer)? If he does it with a lawyer, do you have any recommendations on someone not too costly for a no-fault divorce?

It is very doable, but it may get costly. It depends on the attitude of the incarcerated person.

Who are you in this situation?

Really the best thing you can do is tell this married woman that she needs to get a lawyer.

I'm sure you are correct. However, they can't get those conjugal visits unless they are married and they can't do that if he already has a wife. Girlfriends can put $ on the books but they need to be a wife for sleepovers.
