Go to prison...Get divorced cheap!

So I get a call today from an appointed client.

She says, "My husband is fixing to get sent off to prison and I heard I could get a divorce from him for cheap since he is going off to prison."

Me: "um, well, the cost of a divorce is determined by the attorney and I charge X to do an uncontested divorce, plus the filing fees. I'm not sure I understand the issue. " (Note: I quoted my high price because this particular client has already made me crazy and I just don't want to deal with her.)

Client: " I heard that you could get divorced cheap if they was going to prison."

Me: "No, the cost is determined by the attorney. You could probably find one less expensive that I am... "

Client: Oh, ok.
