Yocom Law Firm assists clients with various family legal issues, such as child support, child custody, and divorce. 

Divorce

In Webster Parish, Louisiana, there are two main options for divorce: fault and no fault.

Louisiana law allows for an immediate divorce on fault grounds if your spouse has been convicted of a felony and sentenced to death or specific imprisonment sentences. Immediate divorces are also available for those with proof of adultery.

No-fault divorces are more common but require a specific time between filing the petition and the divorce being granted in court. Consulting with a tenured divorce attorney is the best way to determine the best route for you and your family.

Regardless of which type of divorce is right for you, Yocom Law Firm offers services to make the intricate legal process smoother, including:

● Conduct a thorough initial evaluation of your situation;

● Outline the options as well as the optimal course of action;

● Collect pertinent documentation and evidence;

● Communicate regularly with you and the other party as necessary;

● Navigate the legal system and court proceedings;

● Protect your assets and property;

● Draft paperwork;

● Represent you in the courtroom;

● And much more!

Child Support

Child support in Webster Parish, Louisiana, is determined in ordinance 9:315 by an Income Shares Model. The Income Shares Model involves the combined income from both parents and the number of children in the family. The court uses the accompanying chart in the statute to determine a figure.

While this model should provide a good outline, legal representation is recommended as support can also depend on child custody arrangements. Should any of the information be contested by the other party, an attorney can assist in showing the court proper documentation to eliminate discrepancies. Forgoing legal help is not worth the risk when children are involved.

Child Custody

In Louisiana, the law indicates that child custody determinations must involve an analysis of the child’s best interest based on 14 standardized factors set by the state.

Child custody attorneys can demonstrate evidence of the 14 factors on your behalf. Attorney Jimbo Yocom knows the law and what the judge must see to get your desired results.

We strive to achieve what is best for our clients and their children while preserving a functional relationship between the parents. Our services include communicating between both parties and working diligently toward negotiation.
