Engage an attorney, his being incarcerated is not a major issue.

You can divorce him while he is incarcerated. It happens every day. Since there are some complications in suing a prisoner, you really should consult an experienced family law attorney in your area, who will know how to draft the right papers and serve him with them.

Yes, File normally, have the Sheriff where he is at formally serve him. It is up to your trial judge to have him transported to your local courthouse or he may appear by telephone.

File divorce papers. Have him served in prison. Prepare a marital settlement agreement if he agrees. If he doesn't, get a contested divorce date and have the court divorce you.
