If you and your spouse have not lived with each other for 6 years and they have been incarcerated for 5 years, will the divorce be granted?

Can they contest the divorce? Custody and child support already in place, no property.

Anyone can "contest" any legal action.  This does not mean they will be successful. 

In Washingont State, we have "no-fault" divorce, which means the court does not care why one of the parties wants a divroce, just that they do.  Even in other states, I cannot imagine them not granting a divorce under the facts you presented.
