Child support is one of the most important — and often most misunderstood — parts of family law. Whether you are a mother or a father, you want to ensure your child is cared for, your financial rights are protected, and the final support order is fair and accurate. At the Law Offices of Mark D. Frederick, LLC, we help parents across Shreveport, Bossier City, and northwest Louisiana navigate child support issues with clarity and confidence.
Since 1995, Mark Frederick has worked with both mothers and fathers facing support questions, disputes, modifications, and enforcement challenges. No matter which side of the situation you’re on, our goal is simple: protect your rights and help you create financial stability for your child.
Whether you are seeking support or being asked to pay it, child support decisions can feel stressful and personal. Many parents worry about:
We understand that both mothers and fathers come into these situations with valid concerns. Our role is to help you understand the law, protect your financial interests, and ensure your child receives the support they need.
Louisiana uses specific guidelines to determine child support. These guidelines consider both parents’ incomes, the number of children, childcare costs, health insurance premiums, extraordinary expenses, and more. Although the formula is structured, each case is unique — and the final number must reflect your real circumstances, not assumptions.
We guide you through how support is calculated, what documents you will need, and how to prevent inaccurate or unfair assessments. Clear understanding leads to better outcomes, and we make sure you’re never left guessing.
Every family’s circumstances are different. We help both parents with a full range of support issues, including:

If you believe child support is being calculated incorrectly or unfairly, we fight to ensure your rights and financial stability are protected.
A child support order should be fair, sustainable, and centered on your child’s needs — not on assumptions, emotional conflict, or inflated numbers. We help you navigate:
Our goal is to make sure the order supports your child while allowing you to maintain stability in your own household, regardless of whether you are the paying or receiving parent.
Since 1995, parents across northwest Louisiana have turned to our office because we focus on fairness, clarity, and strong advocacy for both moms and dads. We provide:
We understand that child support cases involve more than numbers — they involve your child’s well-being and your ability to move forward with confidence.
