Child support in Louisiana is governed by guidelines that consider the income of both parties involved, the child custody arrangement, and the number of children. These guidelines are presumptive and are followed closely by the Courts. The courts may deviate from the guidelines if the parties agree to a separate arrangement, have a nontraditional child custody arrangement, or if it is in the best interests of the child.
