Filing for divorce when your spouse is incarcerated is not that much different than if your spouse were not in prison. The first step is to file for divorce in the county where you live. After you file the divorce complaint, you have a duty to provide notice of the pending case to your spouse so that he can respond appropriately to protect his legal rights. If your husband is in prison, you can ask the Sheriff to serve your husband in prison with the filed documents. In many instances, serving your husband in prison may be much easier than serving documents under normal circumstances because you are sure of his whereabouts. If your husband will be leaving prison soon and you are concerned about  your safety, you can ask the court to issue a protective order. For additional information about filing for divorce in Georgia, contact a family law attorney. In addition, read http://www.gabar.org/newsandpublications/consumerpamphlets/upload/divorce_09.pdf.
