Dedicated Metairie Divorce Lawyer

Phyllis Coci handles both contested and uncontested divorces, including the variety of issues that can arise in a divorce, such as:

• Child custody: Our firm has dealt with numerous child custody cases and will represent parties in the original determination, as well as during enforcement and modification. We have dealt with numerous child custody evaluators and are very comfortable going to court to overturn recommendations when appropriate.
• Child support: We are knowledgeable about and experienced in dealing with the child support guidelines and in seeking deviation from the guidelines where appropriate. We can help you in the original child support determination or, where there is an outstanding order and you have experienced a change in circumstances, we will pursue modification of the original order.
• Community property partition: We are experienced at the division of assets and liabilities, including homes, vehicles and other large assets. Entrust your divorce case to an experienced and aggressive attorney who will protect your interests and fight for the property and portion you deserve.
• Spousal support: Phyllis Coci has represented parties in spousal support matters both in the original determination period and during any later modification or enforcement. Unlike child support, spousal support determinations are based on a number of factors.
• Qualified domestic relations order: We offer skilled representation in qualified domestic relations orders (QDRO) matters. A QDRO allows the court to divide retirement benefits.
• Domestic violence and domestic abuse: Our firm has represented both sides in domestic violence issues. We have represented parties seeking or contesting orders of protection, and have represented victims in emergency hearings.

Our firm is trained in mediation and collaborative divorce, and when appropriate for your case, we can pursue these methods of alternative dispute resolution.

When you are considering a divorce, contact a lawyer who will give you peace of mind. We are available Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and evening appointments by request. Contact us today to discuss your divorce and child support goals with an experienced family law attorney.
