WHAT IS A CHILD SUPPORT CASE?

A child support case determines whether one parent must pay support and, if so, how much. In Louisiana, support is calculated using statutory guidelines that consider factors such as income, custody schedule, childcare costs, health insurance, and other expenses. Support may be set by agreement, or the court may decide the amount if the parents cannot agree. Support orders can also be modified when circumstances change and enforced when payments are not made.

Under Louisiana law, a child support case includes any court judgment, decree, or order that establishes or modifies the financial support one parent must provide for a child. Support can be set by parental agreement or, if the parents cannot agree, by a court decision.

"Ms. Hatfield took on my custody and child support case. She fought hard for my rights and my children’s as well. In hiring an attorney, I wanted someone that I could trust and that would know family law and the specifics of in my case. Miss Hatfield always completed paperwork timely returned my phone calls and followed through."
