Comprehensive Representation in Louisiana Family Law

We focus exclusively on domestic relations, allowing us to stay at the forefront of Louisiana family court procedures, guidelines, and evolving statutes. Attorney Jeanne Marie Bourque began her legal career as a federal judicial clerk with the Department of Labor after graduating from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law in 1999, bringing exceptional research and writing skills to every domestic case. Our Lafayette law firm represents clients in all aspects of family law, including:

• Louisiana Divorce: Helping you navigate the complexities of fault and no-fault divorces, property division, and protecting your financial assets.
• Child Custody: Developing comprehensive joint custody agreements and parenting plans based on the best interest of the child standard under the Louisiana Civil Code.
• Child Support: Utilizing Louisiana child support guidelines to ensure fair and accurate financial support calculations for custodial and non-custodial parents.
• Alimony and Spousal Support: Reviewing income capacity, marriage duration, and lifestyles to secure fair temporary or permanent spousal support arrangements.
• Modification of Court Orders: Assisting parents with legal modifications to child custody, visitation, child support, or alimony when circumstances change.
• Domestic Violence and Protective Orders: Providing swift and confidential legal intervention to secure safety for you and your children.

A Client-Centered Focus on Practical Solutions

At J. Bourque Law Firm, LLC, we understand that going to court is not always the best or most cost-effective path for your family. We attempt to negotiate quick, amicable settlements between parties whenever possible, which can save our clients significant time, money, and emotional stress. However, if the other party refuses to negotiate in good faith or a high-conflict dispute arises, Jeanne Marie Bourque has the skill and extensive trial experience to litigate aggressively in family court. We do not treat you like a case number; your attorney will communicate with you directly from start to finish.
