In 2006, I hired a lawyer to file my divorce paper at the court house. My spouse and I also signed in the paper in 2006. Then I moved to another state in 2009 and I thought my divorce paper was done. But when I called the court house to get my divorce paper to remarry, they sent me the papers with no judgement. Can I ask the court house to obtain the judgement in my case or I have to file my divorce paper again?
In Louisiana, if you have taken no action in 3 years in furtherance of your claim or action for divorce, your suit is dismissed based on abandonment, and you would have to file a new suit.
