BATON ROUGE LAWYERS

You or your family member has been arrested, violated probation or parole and is facing revocation, needs an expungement, or is facing forfeiture in Baton Rouge. For a misdemeanor, your case will be heard in City Court by one of two judges. For a felony, after bond and arraignment, your case will be assigned to one of nine Criminal District Court Judges. The outcome can affect your freedom, custody of your children, visitation, and employment.

You want a divorce, custody, visitation, child or spousal support, protection from abuse, to divide community property, a name change, to adopt, interdict an impaired relative, or have been served. First, custody, visitation, child and spousal support, will go to a Hearing Officer. Then, if either party objects to those recommendations, your case will go to one of four Family Court Judges for hearing. For an adoption, you will need a home study, fingerprint background check and CPS confidential report showing a record clear of any prior cruelty or abuse charges.

Child Protective Services (CPS) has been called about your children, your niece or nephew, or grandchildren, or you have been served with a state Non-Support case. You will appear before one of two Juvenile Court Judges. A CPS case could be a child in need of care, family in need of services, or termination of parental rights case. If it’s a non-support case, start gathering your paycheck stubs, tax returns, receipts, birth certificates, other child support judgments and disability documentation now.
