Reasons for Divorce in the State of Louisiana
No-fault divorce separation requirements are as follows:
- A. 102 Louisiana's no-fault grounds for divorce include living separate and apart for 180 days without minor children, or 365 days with minor children after filing the petition
- A. 103 (1) Living separate and apart without reconciliation for a period of at least 180 days without minor children, or 365 days if there are minor children prior to filing a petition for divorce.
The grounds for a fault divorce that are accepted in Louisiana court are adultery and conviction of a felony.
Parenting Issues
Any agreement on custody will be accepted by the judge unless it is not in the child's best interests. If either spouse is unable to reach an agreement, the judge will determine the issue after consideration. Typically the court favors joint legal custody – meaning that both parents will be involved in the decision making process regarding children’s development. But that doesn’t mean that children will spend time 50/50 with parents; it depends on the parents’ agreement.
Child Support
Louisiana child support calculation will depend on the income of the parents and the child's associated expenditures are taken into consideration upon calculation.
Support normally continues until the child reaches 18 years of age or completes secondary education, whichever occurs first.
Filing Fees
Remember to ask your county’s court officer about filing fees, since our fee excludes court filing fees — which differ from county to county.
