Will it be easier for my husband to file for a divorce while he is incarcerated? And will it be cheaper to do it that way?

Someone will have to file the case in court and that does cost a little money.

Someone will have to file the case in court and that does cost a little money. If he is able to have a lawyer do the paperwork, it would cost a couple hundred dollars. If he has a jailhouse lawyer file the papers and mail them from prison, it'll only be seventy-five dollars plus some bags of tuna for the inmate that did the work inside.
