When Your Louisiana Marriage Is Heading For Its End

No one wants to anticipate an eventual divorce at the time of marriage. In fact, in Louisiana, couples have the opportunity to enter into covenant marriages with counseling requirements and specific reasons for which a divorce is obtainable. Married couples can transition to covenant marriages as well. But even covenant marriages sometimes become untenable, and one or both spouses may need a legal solution to bring it to an end.

Regardless of whether you and your spouse have a covenant marriage, you can petition for a divorce in Louisiana if you have lived apart for a minimum of:

• Six months (in a non-covenant marriage)
• Two years (in a covenant marriage)

In a covenant marriage, you may also need to show that your spouse committed adultery, committed a felony, or was habitually intemperate (abusing alcohol or drugs) or cruel. To verify eligibility requirements for your Louisiana divorce, consult with a knowledgeable family law attorney.
