The same way he would do it if he weren't in jail. He answers each allegation as true and false and sends the original to the court and a copy to the wife or her attorney.

He retains an attorney who can prepare the proper response. If a court appearance is necessary the courts usually grant inmate right to appear in court to represent his side on issues. The attorney will assist.
