Child Support

Home / Practice Areas/ Family Law/ Child Support

Louisiana has very specific guidelines for child support. These guidelines are based on the financial needs of the child as well as the income of both parents. These guidelines are strictly adhered to by the courts in the interest of being fair to both parents. We understand that inevitably the parent receiving support payments will feel they are too low, while the parent paying them will almost always feel they are too high.

If your former spouse is not complying with a child support order, you may need to go into court to enforce compliance. We can help with these issues as well as requesting a recalculation when necessary. Whether you are in the process of drawing up a child support agreement, need help enforcing compliance with the child support order or feel the payment you are receiving are too low contact the Law Office of Nicholas J. Muscarello at (985) 345-1010 today.

I finally found a Lawyers Office that cares! Both Nicky and Tiffany were very professional and explained everything to me as the case went on. Tiffany "held my hand" the entire process and put my mind at ease even when I was in doubt. I did not feel like I was just a number at Nicky Muscarello office. Each time I called, my call was answered or retuned the same day or the next. There's been several times I called and Nicky picked up and answered my questions himself. As long as I live in Hammond or have any legal issues inside the state of Louisiana, Nicholas Muscarello will be the first Lawyer I call to handle my issue because I know he will take good care of me. If I could give 100 stars, I would!!!! I loved working with Tiffany....she is AMAZING at what she do!!! I love this office!

Hands down the best lawyer I could have went to. Had a wreck that the other was at fault and the auto insurance company was making me pay myself. Called Mr Nicholas and he had their insurance pay my bills and some. Couldn’t have went to a better lawyer.
