Re: California Inmate proceedure

The fact that a party to a divorce proceeding is incarcerated can present some logistical issues with respect to attaining the dissolution, however there are no rules I know of specifically regarding inmates and divorce. Just go ahead and file the proper paperwork and proceed with the suit. The respondant will have to answer and the discovery process will flow from there.

Good luck-Martin
