About Our Divorce & Family Law Services

We know that your divorce is stressful enough without having to worry about complex legal matters. Even in divorces in which both parties agree on all the terms of separation, divorce lawyers are often needed to ensure all of the legal issues are wrapped up neatly. Every divorce is different, but you may need to contact Bowie & Beresko, APLC if you need any of the following services:

  • Negotiating Divorce or Separation: Louisiana allows for no-fault divorces after a certain period of separation. This means that you do not normally need a specific reason for divorce, but in most cases you need to live separately for a period of time before you can obtain a Judgement of Divorce. If you are alleging adultery or domestic violence, you may be able to obtain a divorce in a short period of time. In general, for couples who do not have minor children together, that time period is 180 days. Most often, for couples with minor children, it is one year. With a divorce lawyer Shreveport trusts, the process of filing for divorce will be much simpler.
  • Settling Property Disputes: A divorce still entails complicated division of assets, even for couples who do not have children together. In terms of property, a Louisiana court will look to make a equal division of a couple’s assets. Of course, each spouse may have their own definition of “equal.” Your divorce lawyer in Shreveport will ensure that you are awarded a fair portion of your shared property by protecting your rights.
  • Child Custody Agreements: Alfred R. Beresko is dedicated to protecting the best interests of your children. If you are able to agree on a custody arrangement yourself, the court will typically follow that. If the spouses cannot agree, then your divorce lawyer will work on your behalf to ensure that the emotional and physical well-being of the children is prioritized in the custody proceedings. There’s a lot at stake in any child custody dispute, which is why you deserve a Shreveport divorce lawyer who is knowledgeable about these complex cases.
  • Negotiating Alimony and Child Support: Child support is designed to ensure that a couple’s children will receive a fair amount of financial support from both parents, even if they do not live under the same roof. Alfred R. Beresko will work tirelessly to ensure that the child support amount dictated by the court is fair. He will also do the same for those seeking spousal support.
