Visitation

Visitation Agreements in Baton Rouge

Do you want to establish or modify your visitation agreement?

During the process of a divorce or legal separation, the most important choices you make will involve your children. Once child custody has been worked out, one parent may end up with legal custody, while the other is granted visitation rights. This arrangement works well until one parent suddenly finds the time he or she is able to spend with the children have become fewer and farther between due to constant schedule changes.

If you are a parent that has been denied visitation of your child, despite the fact that the right is included in your custody agreement, you should contact a lawyer immediately. At The Layfield Law Firm, Beau Layfield will continuously do all that he can to ensure the needs of his client and the children involved are being met.

Legal Access to Your Children

During a divorce, working out the aspects of child custody is never an easy process, and usually takes a lot of time and patience to finalize an agreement that works for both parents. The interests of the child always come first, and, as a parent, you want to spend as much time with your child as possible.

When you are denied your legal right to visitation, whether due to vindictiveness or as a result of constant changes in an ex-spouse's schedule, you can feel hurt and alone. If you are not the parent with physical custody of your child, you may feel like your rights do not matter. Whether you have physical custody or not, you have the right as a parent to demand the visitation you were granted in the original child custody agreement.

If your ex-spouse has denied you the right to see your child, call Beau Layfield right away so he can help. He handles each case personally and when you retain the services of Beau Layfield, you will get Beau Layfield and no one else handling your case. He will work with you to regain your deserved visitation rights.

  • How will child support be calculated?
    Child support is calculated differently depending on the state one resides in, but the general factors taken into consideration by the court when calculating payments include:
    • the standard of living of the child prior to the divorce;
    • the ability to pay of the parent giving child support;
    • the specific needs of the child, including their food, clothing, and educational costs; and
    • the needs and income of the custodial parent (the parent with primary custody of the child).
  • Do I need a lawyer in a personal injury claim?
    • Insurance company studies show that those who have legal representation in their case recover an average of 3.5 times more than those who try to get the issue resolved on their own. Insurance companies do not like to pay out large settlements, and frequently move fast with an offer, within days of a car accident or other serious injury accident. If you accept this early offer, it can be a terrible mistake; you may later require more medical treatment, or not recover in the expected amount of time, or could experience complications. I will carefully evaluate your injury case and ensure that we are pursuing every type of damage that could be claimed in your case. It is very important that you have legal counsel that will protect your right to fair compensation, and I will fight for fair treatment for you and your family. A personal injury lawyer is imperative if you suffered serious injuries. I am a Louisiana attorney that is interested in helping your resolve these issues.

  • 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. Insurance companies have specific calculations they use when assigning a monetary value to the pain and suffering resulting a personal injury causing accident. 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.

  • 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.

  • Should I take a settlement offer?

    It is never a good idea to settle an insurance claim before speaking with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney that has experience with injury accident cases. Insurance companies have tactics they use to deny claims, redirect fault, and withhold available compensation. An insurance claim can be a complicated process and insurance adjusters can be intimidating to accident victims. An insurance company may assert that the injuries are not as serious as claimed, and attempt to settle quickly for a low amount.
