At EKF Family Law, we understand the immense physical, emotional, and legal challenges faced by victims of domestic violence. Whether you or your children are victims, having an experienced family law attorney by your side can make all the difference in ensuring your safety and securing the legal protection you need.
Louisiana has made significant strides in addressing domestic violence through new laws that offer stronger protections for victims. At EKF Family Law, our attorneys are committed to guiding you through every step of the legal process, providing the support and advocacy you need to protect yourself and your family.
Recognizing the complexities of domestic abuse, Louisiana has enacted a series of laws that prioritize the safety and well-being of victims. These laws not only provide civil remedies that offer immediate protection but also direct law enforcement agencies to take a firm stance in prosecuting and preventing domestic violence.
Key cases, such as Lepine v. Lepine, Ferrand v. Ferrand, and Lee v. Smith, have reinforced the importance of protecting victims and limiting contact between abusers and their families. These decisions reflect the courts’ growing emphasis on using the law to shield victims of family violence, especially in custody and divorce proceedings.
If you or your children are facing domestic violence, Louisiana law offers civil remedies designed to provide swift protection. These remedies can include:
At EKF Family Law, we have extensive experience in obtaining these legal protections quickly and effectively, so you and your family can feel safe and supported.
Louisiana law requires law enforcement agencies to take a strong stance on domestic violence, treating it with the seriousness it deserves. Gone are the days when crimes between family members or dating partners were treated differently than crimes involving strangers. Today, the law mandates that violent behavior within families or relationships be prosecuted fully, without exception or excuse.
Our attorneys work closely with local authorities to ensure that the laws are enforced, and your safety is prioritized throughout the legal process.
