Uncontested Divorce in Louisiana

When you and your spouse agree, divorce doesn't need a courtroom battle or a five-figure legal bill. SimpleDivorce prepares your state-specific forms, coordinates signatures, and files your case with the court — court filing is included, and we can serve your spouse when needed. 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.
