    If she will agree to sign, you don't need an attorney, can she contest, of course she can.

    Anyone can contest a divorce, however her current situation won't really help her, they may only hurt her. From my understanding, some states don't even let those in prison contest a divorce. You'll need to research your states laws regarding divorce to be sure.

    If she contests the divorce you'll need a lawyer and it can be quite a fight. If she agrees, then its relatively simple and it does not require a lawyers assistance.

    You would need to file, serve her the papers, wait for her response, then go from there.
