Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Re: Husband in prison

The procedure would be the same as any other divorce. Prison could be a ground for the divorce or one of several other grounds. He would just be served by the local Sheriff's office. I can help you if you want to move forward. Please call my office for an appointment. If you mention LawGuru the first meeting is free.

Re: Husband in prison

Easy. it is easy! which is to say it is pretty compared to other divorce situations.

There is still a lot to talk about, any kids? anything in bank accounts with his name on them? automobiles? and there are several other important things to get a lawyer's help with.

You really need to get some assistance from an attorney. I suggest you find an experienced divorce attorney (this is a divorce type problem) who is not too far from you, and ask the attorney for assistance. You will have to pay the attorney for the attorney's efforts.

There is a lot at stake. Get a lawyer!

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I think you are not really very close to me, but that is OK. I will be happy to discuss this with you; a brief telephone consultation will be free.

Not hard at all. Heck, I have divorces where we can't even find the person. It may be a lot easier as Mr. Davies had indicated. I suggest you see an attorney.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: Husband in prison

Where were you and your husband married?

In New Jersey incarceration is a ground for divorce.

I am not sure about North Carolina law, but since you are a resident of New Jersey you can file for divorce in New Jersey and list incarceration as the reason why you are seeking a divorce.
