I married my husband in Louisiana in 2008. We were together for 4 months. We split, but never got divorced. I live in Tennessee, how do I get my divor

  Hi Amanda, Based on the facts you have provided, you would be entitled to an immediate divorce. Under Louisiana law, a couple has to wait a predetermined number of days separate and apart prior to finalizing a divorce, 180 days without minor children or 365 with minor children. As you appear to have been living separate and apart for well over either of those periods, we can file a petition for divorce under Louisiana Civil Code Article 103 attesting that you have already lived separate and apart for the requisite amount of time and are entitled to have your divorce certified without further delay. Your ex will need to be served with the divorce petition and a legal delay of 10 days allowing him an opportunity to answer the petition will have to run, but without any objection or other issues arising the process can be completed fairly quickly. My office is available to assist in guiding you through this process. Please feel free to give my office a call at (337)237-0492 and set up a free consult so that we can discuss. Thank you.
