Part of what makes divorce so stressful is that people don’t know what to expect. They don’t understand Louisiana state laws. They don’t know what the legal process entails or what alternatives they have to litigating everything.
People often have questions about financial support, property division and child custody. Finding accurate answers to those questions can be difficult. Friends and family members may have experience from out-of-state or may repeat what they saw in a movie. Time spent researching online isn’t always helpful either. People may spend hours reading, only to access inaccurate information that only applies in other states.
Many books discussing divorce are generic. People living in Louisiana should buy a book that specifically discusses Louisiana laws, ideally one written by an attorney licensed to practice family law right here.
Our firm can happily recommend a helpful divorce book
Divorce in Louisiana: The Legal Process, Your Rights, and What to Expect is a thorough, accessible book that delves into the local divorce process. For more than a decade, the in-depth nonfiction book published by Betsy A. Fischer, Esquire, has been available for purchase on Amazon and through other marketplaces.
The book provides a thorough review of Louisiana divorce proceedings in a format intended to be easily digestible. Readers can find the answers to 360 of the most common questions that spouses usually have when contemplating divorce.
People who want to know what factors influence child custody, how long the divorce process takes and even who pays for legal representation may benefit from reading this book. Those trying to make sense of no-fault divorce statutes and what happens in an uncontested divorce versus a litigated one may find this text illuminating.
Instead of paying for an in-person consultation to go over these questions with an attorney, reading the answers first before sitting down with a lawyer can be a much more cost-effective option. Those who still have questions after reading the text may then want to reach out to our firm to talk with the author of that book. Learning more about the Louisiana divorce process and having the right assistance throughout divorce proceedings can help people during one of the most difficult times in life.
