Even if you and your spouse have significantly different ideas about how to divide your assets, debts and parenting responsibilities, The Bryan Law Firm L.L.C. can help you navigate the challenges of a contested divorce with practical objectives clearly in focus.
Child Support
You should have an experienced family law attorney review your unique circumstances to help ensure that the child support you pay or receive is properly calculated. There may be questions about income when one or both parents is self-employed or has seasonally fluctuating income. You may also have a good reason to ask a family law court to deviate from the standard calculated amount: your child may have special needs — or you may cope with a disability that diminishes your ability to pay child support. Talk to Doug Bryan of The Bryan Law Firm L.L.C. in Marksville for caring, thorough counsel as well as skilled representation in settlement negotiations, in mediation or at trial.
Child Custody and Visitation
The legal aspects of family relationships are something we tend to take for granted until a need for some kind of change or court decree comes about. We are all familiar with typical ways that families grow naturally through marriages and births — and with typical ways that families grow smaller through deaths and divorces of extended family members. But when a divorce or child custody dispute hits home, the necessary legal processes may perplex and confuse someone who has never gone through this before.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Spousal Support
Unlike child custody and alimony, which are determined on a case-by-case basis, child support is generally determined through a calculator provided by the state of Louisiana. The formula takes into account variables such as the following...
If you have been injured on another party's property, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe premises. When their negligence causes an injury or wrongful death, they can be held liable.
If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, don't give up. With a lawyer's help, you can appeal the denial. Many claims are initially denied, but later approved when the correct medical information has been submitted.
Our premises liability practice includes injuries that occur on residential, retail and commercial property. We can assist you with accidents that happen at homes, apartment complexes, hotels, grocery stores, discount retail stores, shopping malls, gas stations and other locations.
