Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  Parents must financially support their children. That obligation usually lasts until the child reaches the age of majority (usually 18) or becomes self-supporting. An order for child support may be entered during or after a divorce, and either parent may be ordered to pay support depending upon how custody is arranged. In Louisiana, a parent may also file a petition for child support in family court, and an order for support will be entered once paternity has been established.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  At the Lazarre Law Firm, we counsel Louisiana residents through a diverse set of legal matters, including family law matters such as divorce, adoption and child custody, as well as government contracts, construction matters, immigration, and wills and succession. After we thoroughly review your situation with you, we will consider all resolution options, including mediation, arbitration or litigation. We have been protecting our clients' rights for more than 30 years.
• Adoption
• Paternity
• Premarital Agreement
  Marriage is a legal and business union as much as it is a romantic one. Because marriage is a legal and business arrangement, it may be wise to consult with an attorney at Lazarre Law Firm about the advantages of premarital and prenuptial agreements. Many couples find it helpful to work through financial issues and the potential disagreements such issues can create before entering into a marriage.
• Guardianship
• Spousal Support
  In most divorces, the primary issues to be decided are alimony (or what is called spousal support in Louisiana), property division and, if there are children, child custody, visitation and child support. When spouses agree on how to resolve these issues, they can usually obtain a divorce quickly. However, in many cases, divorcing spouses have disputes regarding their post-marriage financial arrangements and the care and custody of their children. Property division and alimony are often hotly contested issues in divorce proceedings, but the early advice of a family law attorney may be able to impact the ultimate result favorably.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  After any construction-related accident, it is important for any injured or impacted person to recover from his or her injuries and seek the compensation and benefits they deserve. The essential elements of success are determining the cause of an accident and discovering who is at fault. That is why it is vital to hire an attorney who can conduct a detailed review of the situation, products, materials and parties involved in the development of any faulty construction. We partner with experts and personal injury attorneys to ensure you receive the best coverage possible.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Properly planning for the disposition of one's property after death can preserve assets and lift a burden from the shoulders of surviving family members. But as a person's life situation changes, an estate plan should change. A divorce, a re-marriage, or the birth of a child should lead to a change in a person's will or other estate planning documents.
• Wills
  At Lazarre Law Firm, we assist clients in making wise wills and succession decisions. We work with them over time as the laws change and as their families change - to ensure that their wills and estate plans reflect their current circumstances and desires.
