Frequently Asked Questions About Louisiana Petition for Divorce Packet Forms

The 3 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in Word and print-ready PDF formats. The packet centers on the Petition for Divorce that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.

One or both spouses must be domiciled in Louisiana when the petition is filed (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 10(A)(7)). Six months in a parish is only a rebuttable presumption of domicile, not a flat residency wait. File in the parish where either spouse is domiciled or the last matrimonial domicile (art. 3941). Venue cannot be waived. Confirm the parish with the clerk.

This packet uses only the two no-fault living-apart tracks: Article 102 (file first, then finish by rule after the separation period) or Article 103(1) (file after the spouses have already lived apart for the required period). No-children cases use 180 days; cases with a minor child or a pregnancy use 365 days. Covenant marriage and fault grounds are out of scope.

The same two tracks apply, but the living-apart period is 365 days when there is a minor child of the marriage or a pregnancy. Pregnancy stays on this packet. You are not divorced until the judge signs the judgment. Court schedules vary by parish.

No. This packet is built for uncontested 102 or 103(1) cases. If your spouse will contest the case, or if you have a covenant marriage, consult a Louisiana attorney.

No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Louisiana attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
