What Does It Mean to Get Divorced?
Divorce occurs when a court issues a divorce decree, which is an order that forever ends your marriage as of the date indicated in the order. The decree will also decide who owns the property owned by both you and your spouse at the time of the divorce.
From the date you are officially divorced, any money each of you earns will be your own property. However, depending on the divorce decree, one spouse may have to pay the other alimony (spousal support) or child support (support for a child). If those payments have been ordered, they will last as long as the judge indicated they will.
Also from the date of your divorce, any debts you each incur will be your own debts. However, if you have joint credit cards or other debts where both your names are listed on them, you may still be liable for those debts. Sometimes the judge will order particular debts to be paid by a certain spouse.
In some states, in order to get divorced, the spouse asking for the divorce has to show how the other spouse was at fault. However, in others, you can get divorced for any reason.
Furthermore, in some states, you must be separated for a certain period of time first to qualify for divorce (such as six months, in Louisiana, for a no-fault divorce).
Regardless of the type of family law problem or how difficult your situation is, the team at Bowie & Beresko, APLC have the experience required to help clients find an answer and solve their case.

A satisfied client said: “Alfred Beresko and staff worked tirelessly in a four year long very contested custody case that went to trial. Throughout the hotly litigated case, he remained steadfast and dedicated to the best interest of my daughter and me. I left a well-known Shreveport law firm after only three months of service for him and never looked back. In my opinion, his determination and attention to detail is unequaled in Shreveport/Bossier.”
