More details to this question:
I am pregnant. It happened after me and my husband separated, and I just found out before Christmas my husband was going to prison. My daughter is coming soon and I was wondering with these two situations could we get an easy divorce? Neither one of us want to be together.

If you've been separated for over 180 days (365 days after the baby is born), or if your husband has been convicted of a crime punishable by hard labor (generally a felony), you would probably be entitled to an immediate divorce.

As long as he doesn't contest it, it should be easy. You still have to file the complaint and have him served. Do it when he is in prison so you will know where he is.

There is no such thing as an express or hardship divorce. A pregnancy or incarcerated spouse will not cause the courts to work any faster, unfortunately.

As long as you both agree to the terms, you can be divorced on the 61st day after you file. By the time you meet with an attorney and he/she has time to file the petition for divorce, you are probably looking at 65-70 days from today. On the other hand, if there are contested issues and you need a trial, your divorce will take 7-12 months.
