- Divorce: We offer trusted legal advice and representation throughout the divorce process, helping our clients resolve family law issues such as asset and debt division, spousal support, child custody and child support.
- Division of property: Louisiana is a community property state, which means that property accumulated during your marriage will usually be divided 50-50. However, determining what is community property and what isn’t can be contentious.
- Spousal support: Spousal support may be an issue in your divorce, depending on how long you were married and whether there are income disparities between you and your spouse.
- Child custody, visitation and support: In Louisiana, courts presume that joint custody will be in the best interests of the child unless there are compelling reasons for one parent to have sole custody.
- Modifications to child support and custody: Child support and child custody can be changed after your divorce if there is a change in your circumstances. However, you will need court approval or you could be held in contempt.
