Protecting Your Parental Rights in Child Custody Proceedings
In Louisiana, child custody courts generally presume that the best interests of the child will be served through joint custody, unless there are special circumstances. In many custody agreements, one parent is designated the domiciliary parent — or the parent with which the child lives. The other parent is designated the non-domiciliary parent and is awarded visitation rights.
Whether you seek to be the domiciliary parent or simply want to ensure that you can take part in the upbringing of your child, we will defend your parental rights throughout your child custody proceedings.
Child Support Payments That are Fair to You and Your Children
There is a lot more to child support than monthly payments. Issues of health insurance, day care services, college tuition and tax deductibility matters all need to be accounted for. In Louisiana, payments and other obligations are determined by a formula based on the time spent with children, the number of children and the income of both parents.
We will work on your behalf to ensure than any child support payments are based on the actual income of both parents and an accurate assessment of the costs of raising your children.
