Divorce

Laws current as of November 18, 2025

Where can I find additional information about divorce?

Louisiana State Bar Association has a divorce brochure with information on spousal support, and one with information on community property.

Louisiana Law Help has information about covenant marriage  and a wide range of divorce topics.

WomensLaw.org is unrelated to the above organizations and cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information on their sites. We provide these links for your information only.

You will find more information about divorce, including the risks of taking your children out of state while a divorce is pending, on our general Divorce page. To watch brief videos about divorce in Spanish with English subtitles, go to our Videos page. You can also learn more about the court process on our Preparing for Court – By Yourself page.
