What are the grounds for a covenant marriage divorce?

A covenant marriage makes divorce difficult. In a marriage that is not a covenant marriage, one may petition for divorce based upon adultery by the other spouse, conviction of a felony by the other spouse and his imprisonment at hard labor or death, or by proof that the spouses have lived separate and apart for six months before or after filing for divorce. In a covenant marriage, one may seek a divorce only after receiving counseling and may get a divorce only for any of the following reasons:

1. Adultery by the other spouse;

   
   

2. Commission of a felony by the other spouse and sentence of imprisonment at hard labor or death;

   
   

3. Abandonment by the other spouse for one year;

   
   

4. Physical or sexual abuse of the spouse or of a child of either spouse;

   
   

5. The spouses have lived separate and apart for two years; or the spouses are judicially or legally separated and have lived separate and apart since the legal separation for (a) one year and six months if there is a minor child or children of the marriage; (b) one year if the separation was granted for abuse of a child of either spouse; or (c) one year in all other cases.
