Question about filing for divorce while incarcerated

My boyfriend recently signed divorce papers and was about to file them when he was arrested last week.Can I take them to the family courthouse and file them for him? He is also filing for a file fee waiver. Will the document examiner require proof of identity to file divorce paperwork?
