Contested Divorce in Baton Rouge Doesn’t Have to Be a Losing Battle. We Make It a Fair Fight.

When you and your spouse cannot agree on custody, property, or support, you are in a contested divorce. In Baton Rouge, this means you are heading to the Family Court at the 19th Judicial District. This environment requires a lawyer who isn't afraid to litigate. At Mayeux Law, we prepare every contested case for trial, ensuring that we are ready to fight for your rights before a judge if a fair settlement cannot be reached.

You don’t have to let your spouse dictate the terms of your future. With our experienced team, we will build a strategy that protects your assets, your children, and your dignity throughout the legal process.

Why Contested Divorce Help in Baton Rouge? Because the Stakes are High.

The judges in East Baton Rouge Parish have significant power over your finances and your family time. In a contested case, evidence matters. Whether it is proving adultery to block alimony or tracing separate property to protect your retirement, you need an attorney who understands the rules of evidence in the 19th JDC.

At Mayeux Law, we are litigators. We know how to conduct discovery, depose witnesses, and present compelling arguments in the Baton Rouge courthouse to ensure the judge sees the truth of your situation.

What Makes Our Baton Rouge Contested Services Different?

Strategic Discovery

We use the discovery process to uncover hidden assets or evidence of fault. We know how to compel the other side to produce the documents they are trying to hide.

Courtroom Experience

We are comfortable in the 19th JDC. We know the procedural preferences of the Family Court judges, allowing us to present your case in the most effective way possible.

Settlement from Strength

Ironically, being ready for trial is the best way to settle. When the other side sees that we are prepared to fight in court, they are often more willing to offer a fair settlement to avoid the risk.

Is a Contested Divorce Attorney in Baton Rouge Right for You?

Here’s a simple test:

  • Are you and your spouse unable to agree on custody, support, or who keeps the house?
  • Is your spouse hiding assets or making unreasonable demands?
  • Is the divorce filed (or going to be filed) in East Baton Rouge Parish?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, Mayeux Law is the right choice for you. We are ready to help you stand your ground.

Here’s How It Works:

  1. Schedule Your Free Consultation: Call us. We will analyze the issues in dispute and give you a realistic assessment of your legal position.
  2. Filing and Answer: We file the petition or answer the one served on you, protecting your rights immediately.
  3. Discovery and Motions: We gather evidence and file motions for interim support or custody to protect you while the case is pending.
  4. Trial or Settlement: We advocate for you at trial in the 19th JDC, or finalize a consent judgment if a fair agreement is reached.
