I assume that when you say "there was never a marriage" you mean he never came home and lived with you because he went to prison. If you mean, "I was never lawfully married," then you don't need to file anything. If you had a lawful ceremony, and registered the marriage license, then you will have to file a petition for dissolution of marriage.

Mr. Roach is right. I would add, that if you never had a conjugal visit to consumate the marriage, then you can have it annulled.
