Types of Divorce in Louisiana
Louisiana recognizes two main paths:
- No-Fault Divorce – Spouses must live apart for a set time before the divorce is finalized (180 days without minor children, 365 days with minor children).
- Fault-Based Divorce – Granted when one spouse proves misconduct, such as adultery, abuse, or abandonment.
Knowing which option applies to your situation is the first step.
Dedicated Divorce Support
Every divorce case is unique, and there are no guarantees that it will end amicably for both parties. Because of this, it is highly recommended that you partner with a trusted law firm to guide you through the divorce process and work toward the best possible outcome for your family.

Without the support of a skilled legal team, divorce cases can become prolonged and unnecessarily costly — and you may risk losing more than you should in the process.
When you reach out to Macaluso Law, LLC, you will be connected with one of our experienced divorce attorneys, who will carefully evaluate your situation, provide clear legal advice, and help you resolve your case efficiently. Our team takes the time to understand every detail that may impact your divorce and builds a tailored legal strategy designed to secure the best possible outcome for you and your loved ones.
Child Custody and Child Support
As a parent, it is natural that the health and well-being of your children are your top priority. This often includes maintaining their relationship with the other parent. However, if the home environment is no longer safe, stable, or supportive, divorce may give your children the chance to grow up in a healthier environment.

Child custody and child support are central parts of divorce proceedings. These matters ensure that both parents remain responsible for their child’s needs and interests, even after the marriage has ended. Custody arrangements are designed to allow both parents to remain an active part of their children’s lives while providing stability and security for the child.
At Macaluso Law, LLC, our divorce attorneys will walk you through how Louisiana courts determine custody and support, what financial obligations you may expect, and how decision-making and time-sharing arrangements are handled. Our mission is to protect your children’s best interests, ensure they receive the support they need, and preserve their meaningful relationships with both parents whenever possible.
