   I say that because your question asked what was the "fastest" way, not "cheapest," or "fast and cheapest," but just "fastest."

   Answered December 01, 2012 22:24. For the sake of completeness, there are also two other grounds for divorce other than living separate and apart for 180 days. These are found in Louisiana Civil Code Article 103, Paragraphs (2) and (3) : (2) The other spouse has committed adultery; or
   (3) The other spouse has committed a felony and has been sentenced to death or imprisonment at hard labor.
   Neither of these would seem to appeal to a couple seeking something "without complications," but you did ask for the fastest way, and these would allow you to file immediately.
