No. Soldiers cannot get a divorce for free, but they may be able to get reduced fees for a divorce
Divorce costs will vary depending on the circumstances of the divorce (if the divorce is contested or either of or both parties seek legal counsel and so on) and it is difficult to tell the "average" cost, as there are many factors that influence the costs. However, the cheapest divorce would be the no-fault divorce, uncontested divorce, where no fault is assigned and both parties agree to it. In this case, lawyers are paid flat, low fees and the cost of the divorce is kept down.
You can get divorce court fees waived if you fall below a certain poverty level point. Even if you spouse is incarcerated, you would have to pay the fees if you have a good income.
Short answer: yes, as long as you both agree to the terms. In an uncontested divorce, fees typically amount to less than $1000. Depending on the state you live in, a dissolution type divorce, would be the least expensive if this is available. This type of divorce occurs when both parties are able to come to a decision together about ending the marriage and there are no complications.
If both people are agreeable, they can go in and sign for a divorce at the courthouse, "over the counter" by paying the fees and having the form notarized. This is very inexpensive, since it reduces legal fees significantly. However, signing under duress, or being forced to do so, is not something one HAS to do--if there are objections, then do not go about it that way.
