No, this doesn't give the husband "full rights" to anything. She also hasn't legally abandoned anything.

Husband is in prison - what did he think his wife was going to do?


He will need to speak with an attorney.

The incarcerated felon should know, his wife could use his felony conviction as a reason to obtain a divorce.

Although Indiana is a "no-fault" divorce state, the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage must state the reason for which the dissolution is being sought.

A valid reason or lawful grounds for divorce will be that which the parties agree upon and can substantiate, or that which the filing spouse desires to prove to the court.

The dissolution of marriage grounds are as follows:

Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

An at fault reason:

A felony conviction of either of the parties,
Impotence,
Incurable insanity for a period of at least two years.


Notice, adultery is not a lawful reason.
