Disagreements over where children will live and how much time they will spend with each parent often take center stage in contested divorces all throughout Louisiana. Perhaps more than any other issue, mothers and fathers stick to their guns on certain aspects of child custody and visitation, and the St. Mary Parish child custody attorneys at our firm offer representation to help families emerge with the greatest stability possible.
The first principle to understand if you are evaluating your position in a dispute over child custody or visitation is that Louisiana family courts attempt to always prioritize the best interests of the child or children involved. At The Law Office of Ramsey, Skiles, Streva & Bourgeois, LLC, our lawyers support this principle wholeheartedly, but we also know that in divorce — and sometimes afterward — mothers and fathers often disagree intensely on what that means.
Leveraging more than 100 years of combined experience practicing law, our attorneys offer knowledge and objectivity to help you make the best decisions about custody and parenting time. We strive for negotiated solutions, but when one parent is unreasonable, we stand prepared and willing to go the distance for our client. Our experience and capabilities extend to:
Helping parents reach settlements that work for everyone — and litigating aggressively to protect our clients' parental rights when necessary — are clear strengths in our family law practice. Please contact us if you want to fight for custody or work out a creative settlement that serves your children's needs and does justice to you as a loving mother or father.
