Shreveport Family Law Attorney – Guiding You Through Life’s Most Important Decisions Since 1995

Family matters affect more than legal rights — they touch your home, your children, your finances, and your peace of mind. At the Law Offices of Mark D. Frederick, LLC, we help individuals and families across Shreveport, Bossier City, and northwest Louisiana navigate these deeply personal challenges with clarity and steady support. Since 1995, Mark Frederick has handled a broad range of family law cases, from divorce and custody to support issues, military family matters, and everything in between.

Whether you’re facing a major life change or simply need answers, our office is here to help you move forward with confidence.

Comprehensive Family Law Services for Every Situation

Family law is not one-size-fits-all. Every family has its own history, circumstances, and goals — and your legal strategy should reflect that. We assist clients with a full spectrum of issues, including divorce, military divorce, child custody, child support, property division, spousal support, modifications, and more.

If your situation doesn’t fit neatly into one category, that’s okay. Our office handles all types of family law cases, and we tailor our approach to your needs.

Divorce – Civilian & Military

Divorce is difficult, even when both parties agree it’s the right step. Emotions run high, financial concerns arise, and decisions made now can shape your long-term future. We help clients navigate:

• Community property division
• Debt allocation
• Spousal support/alimony
• Parenting schedules
• Temporary orders
• Long-term planning for children and finances

Military Divorce

Military families face unique considerations — deployments, TRICARE, retirement benefits, BAH, PCS orders, and jurisdictional questions. We understand the added complexities and help service members and military spouses resolve their cases efficiently and respectfully.

Child Custody – Protecting Your Role in Your Child’s Life

Your relationship with your child is irreplaceable. When custody issues arise — whether through divorce, separation, or parental conflict — our goal is to help protect your rights and build a plan that serves your child’s best interests.

We assist with:

• Physical and legal custody
• Joint vs. sole custody arrangements
• Parenting plans and visitation schedules
• Relocation issues
• Enforcement of custody orders
• Modifications when circumstances change

Custody situations can be emotional and overwhelming. We work to help you make decisions that protect your child’s stability and your long-term relationship with them.

Child Support – Ensuring a Fair and Balanced Outcome

Louisiana’s child support laws aim to ensure children receive the financial support they need. We help parents understand their obligations and rights under state guidelines and ensure support orders are fair, accurate, and enforceable.

You may need help with:

• Establishing child support
• Modifying existing orders
• Enforcing unpaid support
• Addressing special expenses
• Clarifying income or calculation issues

We work to achieve a balanced outcome that reflects your child’s needs and your financial circumstances.

Additional Family Law Matters We Handle

Many families have legal needs that extend beyond divorce, custody, or support. Our office handles a wide range of family law cases, including:

• Spousal support/alimony
• Property division
• Paternity matters
• Grandparent visitation
• Adoption
• Protective orders
• Post-divorce modifications
• Contempt or enforcement proceedings

If you don’t see your issue listed, we can still help. Family situations are often complex, and we’re here to guide you no matter what challenge you’re facing.
