Louisiana Family Law guides

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Adoption Process in Louisiana
Louisiana adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. Limited windows depending on type of adoption.
Spousal Support (Final Periodic) in Louisiana: How It Works
Louisiana calls it spousal support (final periodic). Final periodic support is capped at one-third of the obligor spouse's net income.
Annulment in Louisiana
An annulment in Louisiana declares that a marriage was never legally valid — different from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds vary; common ones include Lack of consent, lack of free consent (force, fraud.
Child Custody and Best Interests of the Child in Louisiana
Louisiana child-custody decisions are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard. Statutory preference for joint custody unless an exception applies (domestic violence, sexual abuse, etc.).
Child Emancipation in Louisiana
Louisiana child emancipation generally requires age 15 or older, plus showing the minor can support themselves and emancipation is in their best interest.
Child Relocation Rules in Louisiana
Louisiana child-relocation requires court approval (or other parent's consent) for most moves that materially affect parenting time. 60 days written notice.
Child Support Calculations in Louisiana
Louisiana calculates child support using the Income Shares model. Both parents' incomes are combined to estimate what they would have spent on the child as an intact family.
Cohabitation Agreements + Unmarried Couples in Louisiana
Louisiana unmarried couples have NO automatic rights to property, support, or inheritance — cohabitation agreements + careful estate planning are the only protection. "Common-law marriage" is rare + specific.
Collaborative Divorce in Louisiana
Louisiana collaborative divorce — both parties + attorneys agree NOT to litigate, instead use team approach with neutrals. If process fails, attorneys must withdraw, creating strong incentive to settle.
Common-Law Marriage in Louisiana
Louisiana does NOT recognize common-law marriage. Cohabitation alone — even for decades — does not create marriage rights here.
Family-Court Contempt in Louisiana
Louisiana family-court contempt enforces divorce decrees, child-support orders, and custody arrangements — civil contempt for compliance, criminal contempt for punishment. Jail time is real possibility for willful violators.
Divorce Grounds in Louisiana
Louisiana allows both no-fault and traditional fault-based divorces. Most divorces use the no-fault path: 180-day separation (no minor children) or 365-day separation (with minor children).

Frequently Asked Questions

How is child support calculated?

Most states use guidelines based on both parents' incomes, the number of children and custody time.

What if the other parent isn't paying?

Support can be enforced through wage withholding, liens, license suspension and contempt. A lawyer can start the process.

Do I need a family lawyer if we agree on everything?

Not always, but a lawyer can make sure the agreement is complete, fair and enforceable — especially when children, a home or retirement accounts are involved.

How much does a family lawyer in LA cost?

Most charge hourly against a retainer; some offer flat fees for uncontested matters. Ask for the fee structure in writing at your first meeting.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Any court papers, a list of assets and debts, recent pay stubs and tax returns, and notes on your children's schedule if custody is involved.
