• No divorce is easy, but they are often necessary because it is right for the entire family. The divorce rate in Louisiana was higher than the nationwide average, while the marriage rate was lower. Acadia Parish granted 208 divorces in 2010. A divorce case is uniquely complex because it tends to involve a significant number of other family law cases.

Divorces include property division and spousal support determinations. If the couple has children, it also covers child custody and child support.

• When parents are not married, they are not automatically assumed to be a child’s biological parents like married parents are. This is why it is crucial for parents to establish paternity. It is common for parents to need to do this. About 27.3% of households with children are cohabiting parents who are not married or single parents.

Paternity establishes the rights and responsibilities of both parents and can be very emotionally, psychologically, and financially beneficial for children.

• Domestic violence. When there is domestic violence in a relationship impacting a partner or children, protective orders can be filed.
• Modification of orders. Some family court orders, like support or custody, can be modified when they no longer fit the life circumstances of individuals. A financial change, relocation, or other life change can justify a modification of family court orders. Requests for modification can also be contested by other parties involved in the order if they think the change is unnecessary or harmful.
• Prenuptial agreement. These agreements have two main purposes: they protect you if you get a divorce, and they provide you with an insurance plan to safeguard your personal and financial future.
• Couples, individuals, step-parents, grandparents, and other relatives, as well as new parents, can grow or connect their families through adoption. This process can be complicated, and it is important that it is done right.
