No, you're not personally responsible for any debt incurred by her prior to the marriage. However, if you don't have a pre-marital agreement (a prenup) then your income is community property until the community is terminated. You should speak with an attorney immediately to discuss this... View More

You should hire a divorce lawyer before you report this to her command.

I would recommend checking with an attorney licensed to practice in MS to see if their law permits an annulment under the circumstances. Technically an annulment in LA is only permitted in cases where the marriage was not legal in the first place.
I submitted texts where he was talking about the divorce. Is that enough?

What papers?
Certified mail without signature is not good service.
Enough for what?
You need to hire a family lawyer because your question is incomplete and it sounds like you are trying to effectuate service of something or other without knowing how.

You should consult with an attorney who handles divorce matters. You can check with Northwest LA Legal Services to see if you financially qualify for legal assistance.
Me and my spouse are in Orleans Parish. We have separated although we remain friends and wish to co-parent without the courts involvement, but we would like to be divorced. Is there a way for us to file for divorce which does not involve child custody?
answered on Sep 24, 2018
Yes, you can file for divorce and not ask the court to address the issue of custody.
answered on Sep 23, 2018
If you need a free divorce, you'd have to qualify through your local Legal Aid office. Some lawyers will charge a reduced fee if the divorce is uncontested, especially if children aren't involved.

Contact an attorney who handles divorces. Many attorneys will offer a reduced fee for uncontested divorces where no other issues are involved, such as custody, support, or community property. Give me a call and I"ll be happy to discuss the process and potential costs.

You need a divorce attorney to file for both custody and divorce. Louisiana only has ex parte custody in emergency situations (substance abuse, neglect, physical abuse, etc) because parents have equal rights.

A divorce lawyer can get you a divorce in 45 days for either adultery or conviction of a felony.
Just from moment I file till end. How quick a turnaround? She will sign anything for the whole thing is mutual and we both moved on 10 years ago. She lives in TX and I live in LA.
answered on Sep 17, 2018
Theoretically, if she signs a waiver of service and both of you sign affidavits, the divorce can be finalized the same day it is filed.
answered on Sep 14, 2018
You can date. However, I would not suggest having any "stayovers" until the divorce is final. Some judges can be unpredictable on issues such as fault and adultery.
The minor's are 14 and 15 Years old. they were born in 2003 and 2004. our 2nd marriage was in 2010. custody was settled in 2006 when the 1st divorce was finalized. Does that still stand , or will they have to be included in the 2nd divorce also?
answered on Sep 13, 2018
You would request spousal support in the divorce proceeding. If you're not sure how to file to get the issue before the court, you should strongly consider hiring an attorney. If you can't afford to hire one, you should contact your nearest Legal Services office to see if you qualify... View More
