Law Office of Katharine Geary

Hesser Cooper Law Group LLC is a family law practice serving Alexandria and central Louisiana from its offices in Rapides Parish, operating through hcblawgroup.com. Alexandria, the Rapides Parish seat, is the commercial center of central Louisiana — a mid-sized city anchored by Cenla Regional Medical Center, England Airpark (site of the former England Air Force Base), Louisiana College, Louisiana State University Alexandria, and a significant retail hub for the pine forest and Red River valley communities of central Louisiana. The firm provides Louisiana community property divorce, spousal support, child custody, and support representation to clients throughout Rapides Parish and the central Louisiana region. Rapides Parish's economy reflects the diverse character of central Louisiana: military-related employment at England Air Park, healthcare at the regional medical center, higher education at multiple campuses, timber and agricultural operations in the surrounding pine hills and Red River bottomlands, and a significant government employment sector. Louisiana community property law under Civil Code art. 2336 governs the equal division of all acquêts and gains in dissolution proceedings, and Hesser Cooper Law Group assists clients in addressing the varied asset types — from timber land to retirement accounts — that characterize central Louisiana marital estates. The firm's three-attorney structure provides comprehensive Louisiana Civil Code family law representation for Rapides Parish clients, addressing divorce proceedings, spousal support, child custody under the domiciliary parent framework, and child support under §9:315's guidelines in the district courts of the Ninth Judicial District.
