Child Support/Alimony Attorneys

Although Louisiana provides joint custody for children, that does not mean that each parent will have equal time with his or her children. In most cases, one parent is given primary custody of the children while the other parent has visitation rights. Over the past 10 years, the law in Louisiana has been moving toward equal parenting rights, providing as much parenting time to each party as possible.

At Hale Injury Lawyers we handle all kinds of family law matters, and we will use our skill and experience to fight for the best resolution possible in your case. Steven Hale holds a family law specialist certification from the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization. His exceptional client service and ability to get results has earned him a spot as a Louisiana Super Lawyer in 2007 and 2008. Although we work to negotiate a settlement that meets your needs outside of court whenever possible, we are not afraid to take a case to trial and will do so if necessary.
