Baton Rouge Child Support Attorney
How is child support determined?
Divorce is often necessary for the happiness of both parents and their children; however, it can also make things difficult economically. The same two parents now have to earn enough money to sustain two households rather than one. When there is a child involved the question of financial security is critical. You will have to work out a child support plan that provides for the child and, at the same time, makes it possible for both parents to manage financially on their own.

Whether an agreement for payments is made out of court or by a judge, there are many factors that will come into play: the earning power of each parent, the living arrangements set up in the child custody agreement, and the needs of the child (for example, medical and schooling costs). These are only a few of the points that will influence the final plan for child support. To reduce your risk of walking away from a divorce with too much of the financial burden, call The Layfield Law Firm today.

How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?
A personal injury accident is the result of the negligent, reckless or careless action of another. An accident that occurs from the use of a dangerous or defective product is an example of a personal injury accident. Another example is a drunk driver who causes a car collision with injuries or fatalities. In the case of negligence, the victim may be eligible for monetary compensation that can include lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Beau Layfield and The Layfield Law Firm, LLC can represent a client in court and negotiate with insurance companies to pursue the maximum possible compensation.

Isn't divorce expensive?
A contested divorce can get expensive due to the necessity to attend trial, and document the case to present in court. Those who can work out their agreements prior to court and settle them with negotiations can not only save a lot of money, they avoid the serious stress of a court trial and exposing your personal business in court. In either case, I will help you bring the issue to a resolution with the least amount of stress, whether in a contested or uncontested divorce. I make every effort to make my services affordable so that you can have high quality legal counsel to support your case.

How much money can I expect in a settlement?Each personal injury accident is different and the worth of the injuries will depend on the circumstances of the accident and the severity of injuries and disability.

The firm will protect your right to compensation and pursue legal action if necessary.
Before settling an insurance claim, contact The Layfield Law Firm, LLC to review your case. They can zealously protect your right to fair and full compensation, and your case will be given the focus and priority it deserves.

Do I have to go to court in order to obtain a divorce?
Filing divorce papers with a court is the only way you will obtain a legal separation from your spouse. This applies to any other form of legal separation, including a marriage annulment. Aside from the divorce decree itself, a court is able to assist in settling other matters related to divorce, which include child custody and the distribution of marital assets.
