How long does it take to get divorced? Although the issue was recently up for debate, Louisiana lawmakers ultimately rejected a proposal to shorten the 365-day waiting period to 180 days. For now, couples with minor children will need to live in two separate homes for at least 365 days before they can obtain a no-fault divorce.

If you have questions about your own divorce timeline, contact a family law attorney in your area to arrange for a consultation.
