I once even had someone come to my office and tell my that it was "the law" that I had to accept her divorce case for $1 because her husband was in jail. But this is a myth, and is completely untrue. No matter if your spouse is in jail or free as a bird you don't get a free divorce. Thanks for your comments and for checking out my Memphis divorce lawyer website. Christina,

However, the scope of your question is more than I can go into in this response. Amy,

I have met each of his debt obligations, and, have had to go back to school for retraining as I worked in his business since its founding. I have endured much pain and suffering through this ordeal and have spent a lot of savings, etc. I feel entitled to all of our assets and home because of the suffering I have had to endure. He will acquire a an inheritance, trust fund and property, so, he will be taken care of upon his return. Due to the nature of this crime, I feel that my differences are irreconcilable. I have invested all of my married life in his business and I do not want to end up with nothing in return. Most of my employment was uncompensated as I worked as a love of labor to him and his profession. It is no doubt impossible for you to make any judgements, but, is it possible for one spouse to get 100% of assets in special situations?
