Best Answer

Inmates in Florida file for divorce the same way as inmates and noninmates in every state file for divorce, they submit a disolution of marriage motion to the court of jurisdiction (usually the court that has jurisdiction over your residency, but inmates may also be allowed to file in district or circuit courts in the state's capital), and pay the requisite fee. Because the DOC is unlikely to writ the inmate out for the court date, it would be best if the inmate contacted a lawyer on the outside, or signed a limited power of attorney for someone who could represent him/her at that date. There should be forms available in the law library. Also, inform the inmate that he/she should speak to the inmate law library clerk; this person's advice can be invaluable.
