Legal Question in Medical Leave in Maryland
Filing for divorce
Can you file for divorce if the other party is in jail? I just found out he is in the county jail in another part of the state. Its unknown how long he will be in jail. This is the first time in quite a while that I have a valid address on him.

Re: Filing for divorce
Yes, you can file for divorce when the spouse is in jail (this is itself a grounds for divorce, depending upon the length of sentence). We have experience in serving process on people in jail and asserting alternative grounds as necessary. You can also get child support ordered (if there are children in the case), even if he is in jail. Arrears will accrue and become payable once he gets out and begins working.
