Family law attorneys and child support lawyers focused on your needs
At our New Orleans family and divorce law firm, we provide comprehensive legal services covering all aspects of family law. You can rely on us for assistance with:
Divorce: Whether through mediation or litigation, we work to secure fair and equitable outcomes for your divorce, including the division of marital property, child support arrangements, and enforcement of custody rights. We also support collaborative divorces when both parties seek an amicable resolution.
Parenting Agreements: We are committed to protecting your parental rights and helping you create parenting plans that prioritize the best interests and well-being of your children, ensuring they are raised in a loving and stable environment.
Child Support: We help ensure that child support orders reflect a reasonable and necessary amount to provide for your children’s needs. If there is a significant change in financial circumstances for either parent, we assist in legally modifying support orders to reflect those changes appropriately.
Spousal Maintenance: Divorce should not cause financial hardship. We work to establish fair spousal support arrangements that promote stability for both parties.
Asset Division: Louisiana law requires equitable division of marital property. Our role is to advocate for a fair, just, and reasonable distribution of assets accumulated during the marriage.
Pre- and Postnuptial Agreements: We prepare thorough agreements designed to protect both spouses’ interests and minimize conflict should divorce occur in the future.
It is an honor to serve every client, and we are dedicated to being responsive to your needs while passionately advocating for your interests and the best interests of your family through our experience and commitment.
