In Louisiana, child support is determined by a formula that will take into account the financial situations of both parents and will calculate the amount and duration of payments. While this formula is fairly straightforward, it is important to ensure that the correct information is used to make the calculations.
At Galloway Jefcoat, L.L.P., we work with financial experts, including CPAs and forensic accountants, to properly valuate assets, including debts, taxes, retirement accounts and business assets. Accurate and honest valuation means that child support calculations will be accurate and fair to both parties.
Additionally, the court usually believes that both parents have the right to a relationship with their children. Custody and visitation rights are typically afforded to both parents, unless one of them is deemed unfit or there is another strong reason for denying custody. We believe that your right to see and take care of your children is undeniable, and when that right is being threatened by the other party, our firm will fight for you.
When life changes, such as a move to another state or a change in employment status, agreements about custody and support may need to be changed as well. Our firm can help you with child support and custody modifications that address these new concerns.
