Family Law

Southeastern Louisiana Family Law Attorney

If you are considering ending a marriage 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? Can you agree to your own visitation and support arrangements? The uncertainty that divorce brings can lead to high levels of stress and anxiety. You want a lawyer who will give you the personal attention you need.

At the Law Offices of Richard G. Perque, LLC, in New Orleans, we handle all family law matters for men and women throughout the metro area and in the river parishes across southeastern Louisiana. Contact us to discuss your divorce representation needs.

We are well versed in the laws that govern child custody in Louisiana. We can help you understand the shared custody, joint custody and split custody. We will identify all the factors to be considered when establishing visitation, including special needs of your minor children or educational concerns. We can proactively address the issue of relocation and how it will affect visitation and/or support. 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. To learn more about this part of our practice, see our divorce.
