If you are considering marriage dissolution in Louisiana and you have minor children, you may be uncertain how all your family law issues will be resolved. Who will get physical custody? What's the difference between legal custody and physical custody? What is split custody? How will the court determine visitation and child support?

You want a lawyer who will give you the personal attention you need.

We can also guide you through the complex Louisiana child support guidelines and help you have confidence that your support order is fair and will adequately provide for you and your children.

We also work with couples who have disputes over the distribution of marital assets or are uncertain how property is divided under Louisiana's community property laws.
