Divorcing a prisoner
Notifications OFF
How do I even go about this? Has anyone been through a divorce whilst the offender is incarcerated? I've done the online stuff with his address as the prison but I don't have contact via email as there are restraining orders in place. I'm not sure what to do now the second stage hasn't been completed. Any advice would be appreciated
I'm interested in this too, hope you get some answers.
My OH isn't in court till end of month, but that doesn't give me enough time to start anything.

Hi, I divorced my husband whilst he was in prison. Your solicitor will deal with it all for you. Also, I got legal aid for mine so it didn't cost me a penny. It was done in about five months. X
Little Robin, I didn't realise you could get legal aid for divorce.......is it based on your income?
Yes, and also there's very strict criteria for what they deem is a serious domestic abuse case which is what mine was done on. If you google LA, there's a number and/or a form you can fill out and someone from LA will go through it with you and tell you how likely it is for you to be able to get it. X
Sorry to hear your circumstances, hope things are improving for you.
I will look into legal aid
