When Your Family, Your Children, or Your Future is at Stake, Experience Matters
Family-law dispute aren’t ordinary legal problems.
They affect where your children live. How often you see them. What happens to your home and assets. Your financial future. And sometime, the most important relationships in your life.
Shane Romero has more than 25 years of experience representing clients in difficult family-law disputes throughout Louisiana.

YOUR FAMILY IS TOO IMPORTANT TO LEAVE TO CHANCE.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone.
FAMILY LAW ISN’T ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL
Experienced Representation for the Issues that Matter Most.
DIVORCE
Divorce can involve far more than ending a marriage.
Community property, retirement accounts, businesses, real estate, debt, support and custody can all have significant financial and personal consequences.
We help clients understand their rights and protect their interests through the divorce process.
CHILD CUSTODY & VISITATION
Few things are more important than your relationship with your children.
Custody disputes can involve competing claims about parental fitness, schedules, education, communication, substance abuse, domestic violence, relocation and the child’s best interest.
When custody is contested, preparation matters.
HIGH-CONFLICT CUSTODY DISPUTES
Some custody cases cannot be resolved with a simple parenting schedule.
When allegations, repeated litigation, interference with visitation, difficult communication, or concerns about a child’s welfare are involved, the case requires careful preparation.
We help parents navigate difficult custody disputes and present the evidence necessary for the court to make an informed decision.
RELOCATION
A proposed move can fundamentally change a child’s relationship with both parents.
If you are considering moving – or the other parent is attempting to relocate with your child – the legal process can be complicated and time-sensitive.
We represent parents in relocation disputes and help protect their parental rights.
COMMUNITY PROPERTY & ASSET DIVISION
A divorce can involve substantial financial interest.
Homes. Businesses. Retirement accounts. Investments. Real estate. Vehicles. Debt.
Determining what belongs to the community, whatever belongs to a spouse separately, and how property should be divided can require careful investigation and legal analysis.
Don’t sign away significant property rights without understanding what you’re giving up.
CHILD SUPPORT
Child support can become complicated when parents disagree about income, expenses, insurance, child care, extraordinary expenses, or the amount of time each parent spends with the child.
We represent parents seeking, defending against, or seeking modification of child support obligations.
SPOUSAL SUPPORT
Whether you are seeking or opposing spousal support, the facts surrounding income, need, ability to pay, and the circumstances of the parties matter.
We help clients understand their rights and obligations under Louisiana law.
PROTECTIVE ORDERS & DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Protective order proceedings can have immediate consequences for your home, children, employment, reputation, and future custody litigation.
If you have been served with a protective order – or you believe you need protection – we can help you understand the legal process and your options.
INTRAFAMILY ADOPTION
Intrafamily adoption allows a qualified family member or stepparent to legally establish a permanent parent-child relationship through adoption. These proceedings can involve complex issues concerning parent consent, termination of parental rights, custody, and the child’s best interest.
Shane represents clients in intrafamily adoption proceedings and works to navigate the legal and procedural requirements necessary to secure successful adoption and protect the interest of the child and adopting parent.
PATERNITY
Establishing or challenging paternity can affect custody, visitation, child support. and parent’s legal relationship with a child.
These cases require careful attention to both the legal and personal consequences.
PRENUPTIAL & POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
A properly prepared marital agreement can help couples address property and financial issues before they become a dispute.
We represent clients concerning prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and related property issues.
MODIFICATION & ENFORCEMENT
Life changes.
A custody arrangement that worked two years ago may no longer work today. Income can change. A parent may move. A child’s need can change.
We represent clients seeking to modify or enforce existing custody, support and other family court orders.
