Family Law

We are committed to providing clients with the proper legal foundation on all family matters in all stages of family life. We strive to provide our clients with the best legal services before, during, and after starting a family.  Whether it be starting a family through assisted reproductive technology or adoption or navigating the complex emotional process of divorce or a child custody matter, we consider client’s wishes and specific legal needs to ensure a highly personalized and effective approach at the most exciting and challenging times in all stages of family life.

Our attorneys are well versed in all aspects of family law and are experts at assisting clients with their family law needs.  More specifically, our firm assists clients with the following services:

  • Adoption Services – Private and Intra-Family
  • Assisted Reproduction Contracts – Ovum/Sperm Donations, Embryo Adoptions, and Gestational Surrogacy Contracts
  • Contested and Uncontested Divorce
  • Child Custody
  • Spousal Support
  • Property Partitions
  • Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements

Explore our areas of practice:

Divorce

We handle contested and uncontested divorces, as well as the ancillary matters that are affected by the termination of the marriage, such as community property partitions, spousal support, child custody, and child support.

Division of Community Property

Marriage establishes certain community property rights between the parties. Upon termination of the marriage, we are here to assist in identifying and dividing any community property acquired during the marriage, along with identifying community liabilities to ensure that community property is properly divided.

Assisted Reproduction Contracts

We assist in making the dream of family formation a reality by providing proper legal guidance and preparation in assisted reproduction contracts, ova/sperm donations, and embryo adoptions.

Child Custody and Visitation / Child Support

Louisiana requires that child custody decisions be made in a child's best interest.  We are here to assist clients in establishing and maintaining appropriate custodial arrangements.

In Louisiana, child support is determined by calculating the income of the parties in conjunction with the use of a child support guidelines table.  While sometimes this process can be fairly straightforward, many times just the task of determining income can be difficult.  We are experienced in handling these sometimes complex issues.

Adoption

Making the decision to adopt is an exciting, yet complex process.  We are here to assist in both private and intrafamily adoptions to ensure that the adoption process is handled in a comprehensive, yet efficient manner.

Surrogacy

We assist our clients every step of the way from identifying the need and ability to use a gestational carrier to the completion of the surrogacy process following the birth of the baby.  We provide the most compassionate and comprehensive assistance for intended parents to realize their dream of parenthood through gestational surrogacy.
