Family Law Matters We Handle for Bossier Parish Clients
Our family law practice covers the full range of issues Louisiana families face, and each case gets individual attention. No two families share the same circumstances or goals.
Divorce & Property Division
Louisiana is a community property state, which means assets and debts acquired during a marriage are generally divided equally. We guide clients through this process with transparency about what to expect and how to protect what matters to them.
Child Custody & Child Support
Louisiana courts apply the child’s-interest standard in custody decisions. Under a recent update to state law, physical custody time is now presumed to be shared equally between parents unless a court finds equal custody isn’t feasible or isn’t in the child’s interest. We work to pursue arrangements that reflect our clients’ family dynamics and their children’s well-being. Child support is determined by state guidelines tied to income and custody arrangements.
Additional family law matters we handle:
- Adoption
- Annulments
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
- Spousal support
- Paternity
We take the time to listen before mapping out a strategy. Our approach is tailored to fit your situation, not pulled from a template.
How Family Law Cases Move Through the Courts in Bossier Parish
Bossier Parish doesn’t have a dedicated family court. All family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, paternity, and protective orders, are filed through the civil division of the 26th Judicial District Court. That court holds original jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters in Bossier and Webster Parishes. The primary courthouse is located in Benton, the Bossier Parish seat.
Knowing how cases are assigned and how this court operates gives our clients a practical advantage from the moment our family law attorneys file.
