FAQs
Do I qualify for an uncontested divorce?
To qualify for an uncontested divorce you or your spouse and have to be a resident of the state of Louisiana and both parties need to be willing to sign the divorce paperwork.
What am I entitled to as part of a divorce?
Louisiana is a community property state. This means that all assets acquired during the course of the marriage through effort, skill, or industry of both or either spouse belong to the community property regime. This means that each spouse is entitled to 50% of the community property assets. However, the spouse can mutually agree to split the assets how they see fit.
Am I responsible for debts that are under my spouse's name?
Much as community property applied to assets acquired during the marriage, credit card debts, bank loans and the like, which were accumulated during the marriage are generally subject to division. That means that even if your spouse incurred the marital debt under his or her name, you may both be responsible for any outstanding accounts. However, in an uncontested divorce proceeding, you and your spouse have the luxury of dividing the debt in any way you see fair.
Am I automatically entitled to Spousal Support?
No. You must petition the court for spousal support. Alternatively, if you and your spouse have reached an agreement regarding spousal support you may stipulate to an amount in a written settlement agreement.
How do I ensure that my spouse doesn't seek support from me in the future?
We can include language in your Consent Judgment where both parties waive the right to spousal support. It is necessary for both parties to agree to this in order for us to file the consent judgment with the court.
More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.
