Divorce Process Serving in Louisiana
Your spouse must be formally served for a divorce to proceed. SimpleDivorce assigns a licensed process server who delivers the papers, documents each attempt with GPS and time stamps, and returns a notarized affidavit of service for the court. In Louisiana, about 180 days minimum for couples without minor children (365 days with minor children); most uncontested cases finalize shortly after the separation period is satisfied and paperwork is filed.
