Family Law

Family law issues involving paternity, child support, and custody can be complex and emotionally charged. At James Law Firm, we provide dedicated legal representation to ensure the best outcome for you and your child.

Paternity Disputes

Establishing paternity is crucial for legal rights regarding child support, custody, and visitation. Louisiana law allows paternity to be established through voluntary acknowledgment by both parents or court-ordered DNA testing.

If you need to establish or dispute paternity, our experienced Covington family law attorneys can help you navigate the process and protect your rights.

Child Custody & Visitation

Courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody. Louisiana recognizes two main types of custody:

  1. Joint Custody – Both parents share responsibility for the child.
  2. Sole Custody – One parent has primary responsibility, while the other may have visitation rights.

Our attorneys advocate for fair custody arrangements that serve the child’s well-being while ensuring your parental rights are protected.

Child Support Laws in Louisiana

Both parents have a legal duty to financially support their child. Louisiana determines child support payments based on factors such as:

  • Each parent’s income and financial situation.
  • The number of children involved.
  • Healthcare and educational needs.

If you need to establish, modify, or enforce child support payments, our attorneys are ready to assist.
