How do I file for divorce if my husband is in prison in Colorado?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
You are allowed to file for divorce in the state where you reside, in Michigan you have to have a residency in the state for 180 days prior to the date of filing. You should file here, and your husband will have to be served in Colorado. That would be your least cost alternative under the circumstances as described.

If I filed the divorce papers without his signature, what will happen?

Divorce lawyer at Collis Griffor, PC
It depends on the papers you filed. If it is a divorce judgment, it is likely invalid but a complaint always is filed without the ex-to-be signature.

How could we finalize a divorce if my spouse is in jail?

Answered by attorney Vanessa J. Gorden
Divorce lawyer at GordenLaw, LLC
Typically if there has been no action on a matter for 6 months or more, the court will dismiss it on its own. You need to first find out if your action is still even viable or if you need to re-file. One spouse being in jail does not prevent the matter from going forward...you could each sign a certification (like an affidavit) and a settlement agreement to file with the court, or even if you had a hearing and the jailed spouse could not be transported for it, only one person is necessary to testify. Review the Supreme Court self help documents available online for more information about the divorce process, or make an appointment to consult with a divorce attorney who can talk with you confidentially about your specific situation and concerns. Best wishes!
