Welcome to PTO, Tosh! You've come to the right place for caring and support. As for the divorce part, I don't know, but maybe someone with some answers will come and help.

Hello! Welcome to prison talk

I am going through the same thing with my guy he is legally married and his "wife" lives in another state. He spoke to the people at the law library at the prison he is in and they are going to get him started on the process. As far as the "wife" having to sign papers im not sure how that goes I wish I knew myself =/

Hi Tosh and

to PTO !

Aside from the state forum you may want to check out the

Met While Incarcerated Forum
or
Husbands and Boyfriends in Prison

I can't help you with the divorce question but you may want to try posting in the
CA Legal Help forum.

I hope you are able to get some answers.

If you have any questions or need help navigating the site never hesitate to ask.

FindingHarmony · #13 05-29-2012, 01:05 PM

I don't have many more answers than the other women who have already posted. But i BELIEVE i have heard that if the other party won't sign papers, you have to petition the court to grant the divorce anyway. Not sure how that works while in prison, or while the other party is out of the country. Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

MrsGenius · #17 06-04-2012, 10:51 PM

Not sure if it works the same for those who are currently incarcerated, but my mom and I were just talking about this the other day as she saw it on televsion LOL People who can't get their spouses to sign papers or have no method of contact can also post an add in the newspaper for notice of intent to divorce or something and it is considered the same thing as them being served and the process goes from here...again i am not 100% sure of this but maybe worth googling...

BrandonsBabe · #18 06-04-2012, 11:04 PM

I wish I could help with the divorce! I can tell you now that it's difficult enough with a domestic divorce. My Brandon doesn't even want to deal with it (He's on the inside and plans to divorce the Hell wife as soon as he's out.) now because it's such a difficult process. There are boards for things like this, I believe, so maybe you could find something on there.

krc1abc1 · #19 06-04-2012, 11:56 PM

Welcome to PTO. In California you file the papers and make the reasonable effort to serve the papers (the court will tell you what you have to do). If the party once served doesn't respond with in thirty days you file a legal form stating that the divorce is a default divorce. There are other declarations that need to be filed as well regarding finances and community property etc. File all the paper work. In CA the wait is 6 months and 1 day from the date of filing for you to request final judgement. You request that the judgement is entered and divorce is complete. Most of the CA counties have pretty good information on their web sites as to how to proceed and links to print out paper work. Good luck.

Welcome I wish I could help with divorce but don't know. Look up the legal forum here and the california forum and welcome to pto.
