Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

I live in Louisiana and my spouse lives in New York. He agreed that I could file for an uncontested divorce but when he found out I was getting married, he has not returned the papers to my lawyer. Can I still get a divorce and what do I need to do next?

You can still get a divorce, but it will take just longer without his consent.

You will likely need to hire an attorney. Even an uncontested divorce is near impossible for a non-attorney. There is no way you will be able to handle a contested divorce without a lawyer.
