Skilled As A Family Law Attorney And Special Master
As a Metairie family law attorney with more than 35 years of experience, R. Scott Buhrer is able to assist clients with a wide range of family law issues. Mr. Buhrer, who has experienced divorce himself, brings compassion and understanding to every family law case he works on. At the Buhrer Law Firm, the entire team is committed to helping you through your divorce or family-related dispute.
Mr. Buhrer’s skills and commitment to this area of law have led many judges to appoint him as Special Master in family law cases. Oftentimes, in recognition of his skill and experience, his fellow family law lawyers themselves request that Mr. Buhrer be appointed Special Master in cases they are handling. In this role, he makes recommendations to the court, and if there are no objections filed, his recommendations become the ruling of the court. Only a few family law attorneys serve in this prestigious function.
In addition to being a Louisiana family law attorney, Mr. Buhrer holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Tulane University. This gives him additional insight into the financial issues involved in a divorce or family law case.
Some of the topics that Mr. Buhrer assists clients with include:
- Divorce – Legally dissolving a marriage in Louisiana
- Financial Support – Establishing, enforcing or modifying child support payments and/or spousal support payments
- Custody Arrangements – Creating a parenting plan and determining who will make important decisions on behalf of the child
- Property Division – Partitioning community property/assets during a divorce for everything that was acquired while married
- Pre- & Postnuptial Agreements – Crafting an agreement, either before or after marriage, to protect your interests
- Modifications – Changing existing court orders when circumstances change
- Protective Orders – Guarding yourself or your children from domestic abuse
No matter what specific issue is involved, Mr. Buhrer provides a realistic outlook about what results are most likely to occur. He helps clients weigh the costs of their options, and he creates legal strategies designed with effectiveness and cost-efficiency in mind.
Relocating With Your Child
Mr. Buhrer also represents clients in child relocation cases. Relocation issues arise when a parent wants to move beyond a specific geographical distance from his or her former residence and bring the children with him or her following a divorce.
Louisiana has one of the strictest relocation statutes in the country. Mr. Buhrer has a deep understanding of the procedures this statute requires to either move the children or prevent a former spouse from moving away with them. At all stages of a child relocation dispute, from giving notice to the other party to advocating for clients in court, Mr. Buhrer provides the knowledgeable and compassionate representation needed when handling these emotionally charged cases.
