Local guidance for matters that are deeply personal.
Louisiana family law has procedures and terminology that can be unfamiliar even to people who have been through a legal matter before. Clear advice can help you avoid preventable mistakes, preserve useful records, and prepare for the decisions ahead.
Bickham Law serves clients in Greater New Orleans, the Baton Rouge area, and communities across Louisiana. We take time to understand the family relationships, financial circumstances, and practical concerns behind each case rather than treating every dispute the same way.
If your situation involves another legal or financial concern, review our other practice areas.
A deliberate approach from the first conversation.
Helpful starting points for your consultation.
Will my family law case go to trial?
Many matters are resolved through agreement, but contested issues may require a judge to decide. The appropriate path depends on the facts, the issues in dispute, and whether a fair resolution can be reached.
What should I bring to an initial consultation?
Useful materials may include existing court orders, financial statements, tax returns, property records, relevant communications, and a timeline of important events. We can help identify any additional information needed.
Can an existing custody or support order be changed?
Some orders may be modified when the legal requirements are met. A consultation can help determine whether recent changes in circumstances may support a request.
How is community property addressed?
The treatment of property and debt may depend on when and how each item was acquired, the available records, and any applicable agreement. Careful documentation is often important.
