a common occurrence at schools and colleges which, for those who are not sure of the meaning, is the intimidation of a person by a group of others, often referred to at colleges as an initiation ceremony. &nbsp;The recent law passed carries a fine of no less than $1000 for any persons found guilty of hazing in a court of law. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Parents often consult their attorneys regarding this practice. &nbsp;Mid-way annual dramatics in the house also passed the sales tax bill. &nbsp;Another recent law dealt with the gun owning issue where nobody under 21 years of age was allowed to possess an automatic weapon. &nbsp;Other hand guns remained at age 18 and over. &nbsp;A bill limiting the sale of marijuana to not more than 10 pharmacies was approved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interesting laws in Louisiana, some of which are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>A resident of the State of Louisiana has to reside in the state for a period on no less than one year in order to file for a <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.breedlovefirm.com\/family-law\/\">divorce action<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>There is a clause stating that a person can temporally reside outside the State but must retain a residency status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The &#8220;Petition for divorce&#8221; must be filed in the Parish where the couple reside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The couple must live apart for 180 days if there are no children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>If there are children, the couple must live apart for at least one year (365 days) before a divorce can be granted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>There are no grounds for a divorce needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>If the divorce is fault based, the couple must live apart for a continuous period of two years before a final decree will be issued.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>A Qualified Domestic Relations Order may be needed also (QDRO) from the court in order to divide the benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>A <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.breedlovefirm.com\/profile\/\">qualified attorney<\/a> specializing in QDRO is needed for this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Finally, the judge will take into account the best interests of the child\/children when issuing the final order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, it would seem that Louisiana is one of the most difficult states for divorce, taking into account the requirements necessary. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When all is said and done, the State of Louisiana has some laws which may be difficult to overcome, or at least need some serious thought if a divorce is considered, all the relevant clauses in the law must be met without question.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> BREEDLOVE LAW FIRM<br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Pamela Breedlove <br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href='http:\/\/www.universalpressrelease.com\/?pr=the-louisiana-state-legislature-is-well-represented&#038;type=pra'>Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 318-423-0845<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>216 Rolling Meadow Lane  <br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Bossier City<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> Louisiana<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breedlovefirm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.breedlovefirm.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"http:\/\/www.breedlovefirm.com\/\" style=\"width:605px;
