Family Law in Louisiana is designed for use in law school courses
that involve the study of the distinctive family law of Louisiana,
a law that represents a unique blend of Continental ("civilian"),
Anglo-American, and autochthonic legal principles. Topics covered
include those that would be covered in a standard textbook on
American family law, including prerequisites for and the nullity of
marriage; the dissolution of marriage; the incidents of divorce,
such as interspousal alimony, child custody, and child support;
filiation (paternity); parental responsibility and authority; care
for children outside of marriage (tutorship); care for
incapacitated adults (curatorship); choice of law; and
constitutional constraints on state regulation of family relations.
