  • Family Law: Since opening his Louisiana practice in Lafayette in 1980, Charley Hutchens has assisted thousands of clients who have family law concerns. While much of family law centers on divorce, we understand that families face a variety of other legal challenges as well. We are there to help our clients with concerns including paternity disputes, child custody plans, and protective orders.
  • Divorce: When your marriage comes to an end, you want to make sure all legal issues are handled properly. We can help you with community property division, child custody, and child support plans that work for you and your family. We also offer pre-divorce planning to help you understand the many issues pertaining to divorce or property which concern you.
  • Child and Spousal Support: Whether you are establishing a child and spousal support plan or you are seeking child support enforcement or child support modification, we can help you find solutions.
  • Grandparents' Rights: Our firm can help you understand how to seek visitation if you are a grandparent or other third party interested in maintaining a relationship with a relative child. It may be difficult, since the court tends to side with the parents, but our firm is fluent into Louisiana laws that govern grandparents' rights and we can assist you in pursuing visitation with the child.
  • Increase / Decrease of Child Support Due to Unemployment: If you have been laid off from a job and are unemployed, you may be able to seek a modification in your child support payments due to the lack of income. However, you must go through the courts to secure a modification in order for it to be legal and enforceable. We can review your situation and determine if seeking an increase or decrease in child support is appropriate.
