Our firm's family law attorney tailors her approach based on your unique situation and legal needs involving a variety of areas, including:
- Child custody and visitation — We are committed to helping you understand your legal options and establishing a practical child custody arrangement. Our law firm will help you determine what type of custody plan would be in your child's best interests.
- Child support — Our law firm is prepared to secure your rights, whether you are entitled to receive child support or are obligated to pay child support. We will work closely with you to make sure child support calculations are based on accurate information.
- Spousal support — In general, there are two types of spousal support awarded in Louisiana, interim periodic spousal support and final periodic spousal support. Interim support is available to a party while the divorce is in progress. Final support is awarded after the finalization of the divorce and is available to a party who was free from fault in the break up of the marriage. We will outline the factors used in determining the award, availability and amount of spousal support of each individual client.
- Property division — Louisiana is a community property state. This means that any assets or debts acquired during your marriage need to be handled equitably between you and your former spouse. We are skilled negotiators prepared to seek an amicable solution based on your best interests.
