About O'Connor Law Firm
O'Connor Law Firm is a family law practice serving St. Tammany Parish from its offices in Covington, the parish seat of Louisiana's wealthiest and one of its fastest-growing parishes on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Operating from oconnor-law-firm.net, the firm provides Louisiana community property divorce, spousal support, child custody, and support representation to St. Tammany Parish's affluent and growing professional population. Covington and the surrounding North Shore communities — Mandeville, Slidell, Madisonville, Abita Springs — have attracted large numbers of New Orleans area professionals and families who make their homes on the more affordable, quieter North Shore while maintaining access to New Orleans via the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, the world's longest bridge over water at nearly 24 miles. St. Tammany Parish's affluence — the highest per-capita income of any Louisiana parish — creates family law matters involving sophisticated marital estates: executive compensation packages from New Orleans healthcare and energy companies, investment portfolios, vacation properties, and business interests built by the entrepreneurial class that has made the North Shore one of the most economically dynamic corridors in Louisiana. Louisiana's community property regime under Civil Code art. 2336 subjects all acquêts and gains accumulated during marriage to equal division, and O'Connor Law Firm assists clients in identifying, inventorying, and valuing these assets while presenting arguments for appropriate management and liquidation of the community. The firm handles spousal support under Louisiana Civil Code arts. 111-115 — including both interim support during the divorce proceedings and final periodic support thereafter, both subject to the fault-based analysis that Louisiana's Civil Code preserves — along with child custody under La. R.S. 9:335's domiciliary parent framework and child support under §9:315. St. Tammany Parish's rapid growth and high-income demographic make it one of Louisiana's most active family law jurisdictions, and O'Connor Law Firm's St. Tammany Parish court experience makes it a valuable resource for North Shore clients navigating high-stakes dissolution proceedings.
