My legal experience includes working with families going through divorce and custody matters (civil), as well as matters of child removal in abuse and neglect court (CINC). Knowing what you are getting into (or out of) can really help alleviate the stress of not knowing. This guide will provide you with the language you are looking for when communicating with your partner or your attorney. The text begins with a brief introduction to the history of marriage law. Then it goes through the ins and outs of the proposal phase. After that, it discusses the actual marriage ceremony requirements. There is lengthy discussion on the Community and Separate Property Legal Regimes and management of that property. Finally, it introduces you to prenuptial agreements, succession laws, and more. For legal information on Louisiana marriage laws, this guide is for you.
