Re: serving papers
Usually, you can have the clerk issue a summons for service by the sheriff in the county in which your spouse is incarcerated. The clerk will send the papers to you and you will send them to the sheriff with whatever fees he requires. Then the sheriff will serve the papers and send his return back to you for filing with the court clerk.
