The Suit department processes all new civil suits, successions and judicial commitments. It is also the function of this department to issue the appropriate papers necessary for service.
We issue citations, rules, temporary restraining orders, injunctions, protective orders, writs of seizure and sale, writs of fifa, writs of possessions, bench warrants, notices of judgment, commissions to sell and commissions to take inventory, and subpoenas to name a few.
In addition to this we send legal ads to the newspaper for publication when required in a suit on succession. We record all money judgments, judgments of interdiction, judgments of name change, wills, renunciation, judgments conveying title or ownership, such as judgments of possession and issue notice of judgment when required by law.
TRO's
The Suit department has available the forms required for Protective Orders/Temporary Restraining Orders Pursuant to La R.S. 46:2131 and LA R.S. 46:2151. Suit department staff is available to assist individuals with filling out the forms but the office does not have an attorney and cannot provide legal advice.
The Calcasieu Parish Women's Shelter is available to assist women who are victims of domestic violence with the filing of Protective Orders/Temporary Restraining Orders as well as provide other services to women in need. Citizens wishing to file a Protective Order or Temporary Restraining Order are encouraged to consult an attorney for legal advice.
