Uncontested and Contested Divorces
Uncontested divorces are an option for couples who agree to the terms of a divorce; contested divorces usually involve ugly legal battles as couples fight over the terms of their divorce. While it is imperative to have an experienced Livingston, Louisiana divorce attorney representing you through a contested divorce, the advice and service of an attorney should also be sought if you are planning on filing an uncontested divorce. The terms you agree to in either type of divorce are irreversible. Make sure you are making agreements that are in your best interest by contacting Ellen Cronin Badeaux, LLC before you sign anything.

Child Custody and Child Support
If children are involved in a divorce, child custody and child support will be unavoidable issues. Oftentimes, there are fierce battles over which parent retains domiciliary custody. Child custody arrangements are made with the best interest of the child/ren in mind. Ellen Cronin Badeaux, LLC will fight to make sure the courts understand why it is in your child’s best interest to stay with you. We will also seek to establish a fair child support order that conforms with the Louisiana guidelines for child support and includes insurance, medical expenses, daycare and tuition.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is also known as alimony. It is an amount of money that is in addition to any child support order that may be issued. Spousal support may be ordered if one spouse does not have the financial earning capacity to provide for his or her needs after a divorce. If a spouse is determined to be at fault for the divorce, he or she may not receive spousal support—no matter what his or her financial earning capacity may be. Spousal support may be paid monthly or in a lump sum. Our Livingston, Louisiana divorce attorney can help you receive the spousal support to which you are legally entitled, or help you fight against spousal support that your spouse is seeking.
Complex Community Property Partition
Dividing community property takes the skill and expertise of an experienced attorney. As a community property state, most property and debt acquired during the marriage will be divided evenly in Louisiana. Property that is considered “separate property” will remain so. Distinguishing between community and separate property can be difficult without the assistance of an experienced attorney. Contact our Livingston, Louisiana divorce attorney to protect your property in a divorce.
