No they can't. Once papers are filed, that's it. The rest is fighting over custody and assets. Judges don't give a shite who you frick after papers are in the system.

Judges in Louisiana don't give a shite who you fricked while married.

Louisiana is a "no fault" divorce state

Louisiana is very formulaic in regards to child support and alimony.

I've been told that custody is 50/50 unless you demonstrate a severe case of endangerment. Judges do have discretion when it comes to how the 50/50 split is set up and who is awarded "domicilliary custodian".

if you have kids it's 12 months from the date you file before you're officially divorced



Don't know the law now but that was not the case in 1990. 6 months if you were living apart for at least a year. I know several things have changed since then.

When I lived in Baton Rouge years ago, my neighbors broke up all the time. Both would have dates the next weekend. If it was she who left (with their kids!) instead of him, he'd even bring a girlfriend into their house. Later, once they made up, they acted like they were the most loving couple in the world. They did eventually divorce.

some states have minimum waiting periods before a no fault divorce can be finalized. I wouldn't want to wait a year or two to get back on the dating scene if I was in that situation, 3 months is even too long as once the divorce has been filed it's as good as being over at that point......in MOST cases...

The better question is why one would even consider dating while going through a divorce/separation? People truly don't know how to be introspective and deal with being alone and finding oneself.

The very last thing on someone's mind while separated should be getting into a new relationship.

oh for sure

most people have been warped and programmed to be way too self-centered, but in the most pathetic, stimulus-based way possible

Many times I notice that married/divorced people just don't know how to be single. They get out of a shitty marriage but are back in another serious relationship in a couple months. They just don't know how to be single.

i think that's a problem and it's just the habit and avoiding self doubt (which means you avoid self analysis)

much easier to "live a lie" if it's comfortable without as much conflict

Yeah, you get divorced because you want to screw random people, but you marry the first piece you get

I definitely should've waited longer than I did. I didn't intend to get serious when I met my current BF like a month after separating. In hindsight, I needed a lot more time to be alone and get my priorities in line. We're still together a couple years later, but yeah. Dumb.

That said, I was already 34, so what little stock I had was rapidly depreciating. Had to lock down the next one before my looks were too far gone.

The other issue is that there is no "legal separation" in Louisiana (at least there wasn't 15 years ago when I went through it); therefore your spouse can technically sue for adultery and be awarded alimony as a result if it's found out you were banging the new SO before the divorce was final. It's also retroactive, so if it comes out after it's finalized, they could take you back to court.



Not sure if true, but a girl I was seeing about 10 years ago thought it was and was very careful about not wanting anyone to know she was even dating someone, mainly because they had a child. She was the friend of a friend and her husband was cheating on her, so she filed for divorce. I met her about 2 months into process...we didn't go out together or even go to restaurants together because she didn't want to accidentally be seen with another guy by someone who her husband knew. She was very afraid of losing full custody of her kid. We dated for about 6 weeks then she cut it off (the relationship, not my penis, you sick fricks). She said I was too nice and she wasn't ready for a new relationship so soon and blah blah blah

Now if you would like to discuss the wishy washy mental state of a woman just recently separated/divorced, then that is a whole 100 page thread unto itself.
