A Louisiana Marital Settlement Agreement is a legal document used by couples to settle their marital disputes in the state of Louisiana. This document outlines the division of the couple's assets, debts, and any other financial or legal matters related to the dissolution of their marriage. It can also provide for spousal support, child support, and other related matters. The agreement is legally binding and must be filed with the court in order for it to be effective. There are three types of Louisiana Marital Settlement Agreements: Uncontested, Contested, and Summary. An Uncontested Marital Settlement Agreement is when both parties agree to the terms without dispute. A Contested Marital Settlement Agreement occurs when there is disagreement between the parties, and a Summary Marital Settlement Agreement is when both parties agree to the terms without going to court.
