Family law cases may often involve numerous family law issues. For example, a paternity case may also involve a determination of child custody and support.

It is important that the attorney you work with has experience relevant to your specific family law case and the numerous issues involved in it.

• Louisiana had a divorce rate of 0.7 per 1,000 people in the population, compared to 2.4 per 1,000 population nationwide. This 0.7 rate was an outlier for Louisiana, with previous years ranging from double that rate at 1.4 per 1,000 population to four times the rate at 2.8 per 1,000 population.

Divorce cases often involve many other cases, including spousal support determinations, child custody and child support decisions, and the division of marital property.

• Paternity determinations may be done voluntarily or through the court and are necessary when parents are unmarried. Establishing paternity is a crucial step to ensure both parents have important parental rights and responsibilities. This is incredibly important for the child, as there are emotional, social, and financial benefits for children whose parents both contribute to their upbringing.
• Domestic violence. When there is domestic abuse and violence against a partner or children, protective orders should be filed to provide protection and legal recourse. It is crucial that victims of this abuse and parents of children take steps to protect themselves against domestic violence.
• Order modification. Many court orders, such as support or custody, can be modified to reflect changing circumstances. Modifications are made in specific circumstances when a life change means the existing order is no longer fair or in the best interests of children.
• Prenuptial agreements. These agreements are a form of insurance policy and protect both spouses’ interests if they get divorced. This contract is a crucial way to protect your financial future.
• This is an exciting but complex process, used by step-parents, grandparents, and LGBT couples to bring families closer together and establish parental rights, and used by individuals and couples to grow their families. It is important that the process is done right.
