Frequently Asked Questions
The timeline depends on your situation. In Louisiana, most divorces require a separation period of 180 days (or 365 days if you have minor children). However, uncontested divorces can sometimes be completed sooner if all issues are agreed upon.
Louisiana follows community property law, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are shared equally between spouses. Our firm helps you identify, value, and fairly divide property to protect your financial future.
Yes. If there’s been a significant change in circumstances—such as a new job, relocation, or concern for the child’s well-being—the court may approve modifications to custody or visitation orders. We can guide you through that process and file the necessary motions.
Child support is calculated based on Louisiana’s state guidelines, which consider both parents’ income, the number of children, and specific expenses like healthcare or childcare. We ensure all financial details are accurately represented to reach a fair outcome.
Not always. Many cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, saving you time, stress, and expense. If litigation becomes necessary, attorney Jay Diamond will represent you with skill and dedication to protect your rights and family’s interests.
