Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

My boyfriend is incarcerated, he has been since November of 2010. He was still legally married when he went to jail and still is as of now. He went through legal aid by giving his mother power of attorney to file his separation/divorce papers from what I understand. The wife finally signed the papers in September 2011. If they have been separated since February of 2010 not living together since before then how long will this divorce take considering it is being done by legal aid? Will he receive notification when the divorce is final?

Could be six months or so (just a guess).

Yes, your boyfriend will not only be notified when his divorce is

finalized, he should also receive a copy of the final decree.
