Divorce Fault

The time requirements do not have to be met if:

The other spouse has committed adultery.
The other spouse has committed a felony and has been sentenced to death or imprisonment at hard labor.
During the marriage, the other spouse physically or sexually abused the spouse seeking divorce or a child of one of the spouses, regardless of whether the other spouse was prosecuted for the act of abuse.
After a contradictory hearing or consent decree, a protective order or an injunction was issued during the marriage against the other spouse to protect the spouse seeking the divorce or a child of one of the spouses from abuse.
