Jacksonville, NC asked in Divorce for North Carolina

Q: If my spouse is in prison in another state will I be able to send him the divorce papers through certified mail?

If my spouse is in prison in another state will I be able to send him the divorce papers through certified mail? The divorce is uncontested, will there be any additional paper work and any additional fees? I want to use easyncdivorce.com but I don't know if him being in prison will make the divorce process longer and more expensive.

A: No. He will need to be served by Sheriff. Why are you bothering to do this yourself? For a flat rate total of $395 plus the cost of service by sheriff, we can do everything for you. Unless you are indigent (extremely low or no income) and eligible to have court cost waived - you will likely not save any significant money doing it yourself and may even end up spending more.
