There are two types of divorces in Louisiana: fault and no-fault. In a fault divorce, one of the spouses did something wrong that made the marriage fail. Meanwhile, in a no-fault divorce, neither party did anything that was necessarily wrong, and the marriage merely failed on its own.

If you and your spouse are living separately, and have filed for divorce, then you are technically ?separated? under the eyes of the law. As a result, dating someone else does not count as adultery.

A 102 divorce is a no-fault divorce while a 103 divorce is fault based. Still, both types of divorce allow a couple to end their marriage so they can move forward as single individuals.

103-Without Minor Children This form is intended for married individuals seeking a divorce who: - Have no minor children born during the course of the marriage; and Have been separated for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days; and Have lived in Franklin Parish for the last year (at least one spouse).

A "102 divorce" in Louisiana refers to a no-fault divorce procedure under Louisiana Civil Code Article 102. It's one of the options for couples who wish to end their marriage and can do so without assigning blame to either party. It's important to note that a 102 divorce is for ending the marriage only.

If there are no minor children, or if there is physical or sexual abuse, then the waiting period is 180 days. If there are minor children, then the waiting period is 365 days. Parties to an Article 103 divorce can normally get a final judgment of divorce within one month of the papers being filed.
