Obtaining Enforcement of Court Orders
Family Law Attorney in Baton Rouge
Going through a divorce is one of the most difficult times in a couple's life, especially if there are children involved. Both parents want to spend as much time as possible with their child and both parents always want what is best for the child. However, sometimes getting both sides to agree to a viable child custody arrangement takes a lot of time and effort. When the agreement is not upheld, tempers can flare quickly.
If you are a parent who has been denied their legal visitation rights, or has been unable to collect the support awarded to you, you need to speak with a qualified legal professional. At The Layfield Law Firm, Beau Layfield has helped countless people in this very complex and delicate situation and can help you receive an enforcement of a court order. He is determined to work on your case to assure the best resolution possible.
Support, Visitation & Custody
When you are not the custodial parent of your child and have been denied your right to visitation by your ex-spouse, you can often feel helpless and though you have nowhere to turn. It can seem like the ex-partner holds all the cards, while you have to simply sit back and wait for your ex-partner to decide when to let you visit.
Maybe you are a parent struggling with the day-to-day issues of child rearing, working tirelessly just to keep food on the table and clothes on your child's back. If the child support you expect to help with these expenses suddenly stops, you may be wondering what rights you have.
No matter what your particular situation, the first step to getting an enforcement of a court order is to contact a competent attorney who has vast experience in these situations. At The Layfield Law Firm that is exactly what you will get when you retain Beau Layfield's services. Call today.

How will child support be calculated?Child support is calculated differently depending on the state one resides in, but the general factors taken into consideration by the court when calculating payments include:
- the standard of living of the child prior to the divorce;
- the ability to pay of the parent giving child support;
- the specific needs of the child, including their food, clothing, and educational costs; and
- the needs and income of the custodial parent (the parent with primary custody of the child).
-
How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?
A personal injury accident is the result of the negligent, reckless or careless action of another. An accident that occurs from the use of a dangerous or defective product is an example of a personal injury accident. Another example is a drunk driver who causes a car collision with injuries or fatalities. In the case of negligence, the victim may be eligible for monetary compensation that can include lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Beau Layfield and The Layfield Law Firm, LLC can represent a client in court and negotiate with insurance companies to pursue the maximum possible compensation.

Is adoption a long process?
Each adopted child has different circumstances. There are several types of adoptions that could take place, including a stepparent adoption, a private adoption or a standard adoption. Each has its own specific challenges. With the help of my firm, we will speed the process through the system as quickly as we can so that you can begin your new family and move forward with starting life together.

How will custody of my child be decided?It is possible for you and your spouse to come to a decision regarding child custody without the court intervening.
However, if you and your spouse cannot come to a custody terms agreement, the court will decide for you, and will look at the following:
- the child's gender and age;
- the child's mental and physical health;
- the child's relationship with each parent;
- the parents' respective lifestyles;
- each parent's ability to provide basic necessities for the child, including shelter, food, and clothing; and
- the child's preference (if they are of a certain age).
-
How much money can I expect in a settlement?Each personal injury accident is different and the worth of the injuries will depend on the circumstances of the accident and the severity of injuries and disability. Insurance companies have specific calculations they use when assigning a monetary value to the pain and suffering resulting a personal injury causing accident. The firm will protect your right to compensation and pursue legal action if necessary.
Before settling an insurance claim, contact The Layfield Law Firm, LLC to review your case. They can zealously protect your right to fair and full compensation, and your case will be given the focus and priority it deserves.
