Spousal and Child Support

After a divorce, both spouses are still required to support their minor children. The state of Louisiana uses the Income Shares Model to determine child support, taking into account the gross income of both parents and the number of children requiring support.

The Income Shares Model is based on the amount of support that would have been available if the parents had not divorced. This amount shall be divided proportionally to the parents according to each party's income. So the spouse with a higher income typically would be responsible for the more significant portion of the child support obligation.

The calculation of child support for a particular divorce case should be performed using the Louisiana Child Support Worksheet.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a Louisiana-based company. So that's why I used onlinelouisianadivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found onlinelouisianadivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
