Q: I want a divorce. My husband is serving a 17 year prison sentence for molestation. Can anyone help?
My husband was arrested April 2007 and was sentenced to 17 years in prison that was in 2009. Ive tried for 6 years for him to file knowing I have no job or money for a lawyer or fees and he refuses. We do have 3 children together 11,9 and 8. I would like to move on and I cant do that being married to him. Ive went to legal aide and they have told me Its going to cost me because my husband is in prison. I am begging for help.
