Can you get a divorce in Florida if your spouse is in jail? As if getting a divorce isn't enough, on top of it all, your spouse is incarcerated. But don't worry, you can get divorced even if your spouse is in jail or prison. In one respect, it makes things easier - you know where to serve the petition!
The financial issues can be more complicated. Some courts have awarded unequal property divisions to make up for the inmate's inability to pay child support or alimony while imprisoned. In other areas of Florida, support orders are issued but payment abated during the prison term.
