Friley & Dugas LLC

Hodges Law Firm, led by Attorney Russell Hodges, is a family law practice serving Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish from its Capital Region offices, operating through russellhodgeslaw.com. The firm provides Louisiana community property divorce, spousal support, child custody, and support representation to clients throughout the Baton Rouge metropolitan area. East Baton Rouge Parish encompasses Baton Rouge and its rapidly growing suburban municipalities — Central, Zachary, Baker, and the unincorporated areas of the parish — creating a large and diverse family law market. Louisiana's Civil Code family law framework governs dissolution proceedings in East Baton Rouge Parish: divorce after 180-day separation (or 365 days with minor children) under art. 103, community property division under art. 2336, interim and final periodic spousal support under arts. 111-115, and child custody and support proceedings under La. R.S. 9:335 and §9:315. Attorney Hodges assists clients in the full range of these matters in the Family Court of East Baton Rouge Parish, one of Louisiana's few parishes with a dedicated Family Court handling all domestic matters. Baton Rouge's highly educated, professionally diverse population — shaped by state government, LSU, Southern University, and the petrochemical industry — creates family law matters of considerable complexity, and Hodges Law Firm provides the focused, personalized attention that clients in high-stakes proceedings deserve.
