Art. 3944 Injunctive relief in divorce actions; bond not required in certain cases

If you're going through a divorce, you or your spouse can ask the court for an injunction without having to pay a bond. An injunction is a court order that stops someone from doing something, like harassing the other spouse, going near them, or taking money out of shared accounts.

Normally, when someone asks a court for this kind of order, they have to put up money (a bond) in case the order turns out to be wrong or unfair to the other person. This rule removes that requirement in divorce cases. It applies to the specific types of protective orders listed under Louisiana's family violence and domestic abuse laws (R.S. 9:371 and related sections).

In simple terms, this makes it easier and cheaper for people in a divorce to get court protection when they need it, without the added cost of posting a bond.
