Child Custody Attorney In Louisiana

What is Child Custody?

One of the most important aspects of a divorce is determining child custody. At Rozas our attorneys are committed to helping our clients do what is in the best interest of their children. We help you to ensure that your child custody plans are designed with your child’s best interest in mind. Depending on the situation sole custody may be better than 50/50 custody. At Rozas we will work with you to determine what the best outcome would be and to help you reach that outcome.

Child Custody Laws in Louisiana

Louisiana law, like all states, focuses primarily on what is in the best interest of the child. If parents are divorcing and cannot agree on reasonable arrangements that meet the child’s best interests, then it will be up to a court to decide.

Types of Child Custody

When you’re going through a divorce and you have children, you will be required to agree to a child custody plan with your former spouse. If the two of you are unable to come to an agreement, the court will make the decision for you. In Louisiana, there are 4 major types of child custody:

  • Sole Custody - Sole custody refers to the sole legal and physical custody of the child. The parent with sole custody has exclusive rights concerning the child. This type of custody is rare and is usually a result of a situation in which one of the parents has been deemed unfit to care for the child.
  • Split Custody - Split custody is an arrangement that may be ordered when a family has more than one child. In this arrangement, each parent has sole custody of at least one of the children. In a split custody situation, child support may or may not be owed.
  • Joint Custody - Joint custody is an often common arrangement for unmarried or divorced parents. When parents have joint custody, both parents do not have equal time or physical custody of the child or children. Parents are still given opportunities to have frequent contact and interaction with their children, but it is not an equal arrangement.
  • Non-parental Custody - In a situation where the court determines that giving either parent custody of the child would result in harm; the court may award custody to a non-parent. Custody may also be awarded to a non-parent when the parent is deceased or cannot be found.

I am so very thankful that I found Rozas & Rozas Law Firm. They were so professional and nice. I was blown away with how fast they got me in and was able to help me with my situation. Corey was so helpful. He felt more like a friend than an attorney but I am so grateful for them during the WHOLE experience and I most definitely will use them if I ever need that law assistance again! Thank you Rozas & Rozas. :)

I’m so glad I picked Rozas’ to help me through my divorce. They handled everything so well, quickly, and cost-effectively. In particular, Brandi, who I interacted with the most was beyond amazing. She always responded to messages right away, and not only was efficient but also compassionate in the way that she interacted with me. Definitely recommend!

Mary Allen

Attentive, thorough, passionate about justice for immigrants, honest and fair – these are some of the words to describe Rozas and Associates law firm. My boyfriend was detained at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana in June 2019. We hired Rozas to represent him because of their reputation amongst the detainees in the Center. Rachel Chappell and the rest of the Rozas team worked tirelessly to assist us – and he won full asylum one week ago.

Josie Lalonde

I wanted to apply for my citizenship and Jessica referred me to Rozas and Associates. They made the whole process seem so simple. David and his staff were extremely knowledgeable, not to mention friendly. I highly recommend them for any of your immigration issues.

Janie Garcia

They are the best immigration lawyers. Thanks to the lawyer Rachel my husband won his asylum. They are more than more than recommended, it was a blessing from God that they represent my husband.

Jaqueline Burgos

We couldn't be more happy about choosing this law-firm. We live in Miami and have a friend that needed help with an immigration case. We did a lot of research and called many different firms and decided to go with Rozas and Associates. From the moment we called, Nancy took the time to explain us everything and what our options were, she was very patient and helpful. Once we decided to hire them, Joseph, David and Rachel were assigned to our case. Rachel is THE BEST! She answered our calls always, and whenever she was busy or not available to talk, she always called us back or texted us... every question that we had throughout the process was professionally and patiently answered by her. She's amazing!!!

Dany Thimann

Jessica and David were amazing! They made me feel like my issue was important, they took the time to explain things to me and prepare me for any outcome, they were always there every time I called them with any questions, and always looked and acted very professional. I highly recommend them! 😊

Stacey Garcia

David is very professional & friendly. Never had to wait for multiple days before he responded to our calls or replied to my emails with an answer to our questions & concerns. Responding in a timely manner made us feel that our needs were not taken lightly. It truly was a really positive experience.

Mirna Sorto

This law firm is amazing! David represented me in my case and he could not have done a better job. The staff is so professional and friendly. Especially Jessica. They make you feel like your case is the most important one they are working. I plan to recommend them to all of my friends and family who may need their services.

Michelle Barron

For all my Latin friends who are going through immigration and legal processes, I recommend this law firm since they are excellent. They defend the Latino community very well. They are very professional and attentive. They respond to you immediately and fight for your case. A thousand thanks to Pamela for being super attentive and Nancy who was exceptional. Also to John Sharby and his colleagues who worked on my wife's case who was in a Louisiana detention center, they are the best. Many thanks to all for their professionalism.

Aidevis Zamora

Rozas and Associates Law Firm was absolutely amazing handling a case for me. They were very nice and got back to me and whatever I needed. The bond department was on top of everything and managed to get bond for the case. I couldn’t recommend a more better or more reliable group of people to handle immigration cases.

Hannah Castillo
