Cases Within a Divorce Case in Crowley

Divorce has become less common, but the impact it has on couples and families is severe. The divorce rate in Louisiana in 2022 was 0.7 per 1,000 population, which was lower than the previous year’s rate of 2.2 per 1,000 population. The 2022 rate was also the lowest in all the states that provided data. Generally, the state’s divorce rates have declined, and so have marriage rates.

There are numerous types of family law cases and issues that must be dealt with in a divorce case, including:

• Spousal support. Also called alimony, this support is a payment from one spouse to the other, either during the divorce proceedings, after them, or both. Not all divorces will lead to spousal support payments. It is awarded based on need and then calculated based on a couple’s specific financial and personal circumstances.
• Child custody. Determining custody of minor or dependent children is often a contentious and emotional part of a divorce. It is essential that you work with a legal team that puts your children’s best interests first and knows how to help parents determine a healthy custody arrangement that supports their children and enables them to thrive.
• Child support. There are guidelines for determining child support based on the needs of the children, the amount of custody each parent has, and other factors. While this formula is useful, deviations may be necessary for a family’s unique circumstances. Working with an attorney can help you ensure that your child is being financially supported fairly and fully.
• Property division. The division of marital property by the courts is an equal split. Couples can also reach an agreement outside of court. No matter how property is divided, spouses must identify, evaluate, and categorize all of their separate and marital property to accurately split assets and debts. This process can take much more time without professional support and resources.
• Domestic violence. Issues of domestic violence may come up during the divorce process. It is important that victims of abuse have the safety they need and are able to secure a fair divorce decree. It is also important that false allegations of this serious offense are properly addressed and defended against.

Divorce cases can involve several of these issues, and Bertuccini Law Firm can help you navigate them. Our firm has managed cases in the 15th Judicial District Court in Acadia Parish, and we can help you know what to expect for your family law case.
