Louisiana presents unique skip tracing challenges. As the only state with a civil law system (based on the Napoleonic Code rather than English common law), Louisiana uses distinct legal terminology and procedures—parishes instead of counties, and unique judgment enforcement mechanisms. The state’s 4.6 million residents are spread across 64 parishes, with population concentrated in the New Orleans metro, Baton Rouge, and along the I-10 corridor.
Our investigators understand Louisiana’s unique legal system, geography, demographics, and cultural diversity. We know the energy industry workforce throughout South Louisiana, the port and shipping communities, the Cajun country of Acadiana, and the diverse neighborhoods of New Orleans.
⚖️ Louisiana Judgment Enforcement Laws
Louisiana’s civil law system creates unique judgment enforcement procedures distinct from other states.
📋 Judgment Duration & Revival
📜 Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Art. 3501
Louisiana judgments are enforceable for 10 years from the date of signing. Judgments may be revived by filing a petition for revival before expiration, extending enforceability for another 10 years. Interest accrues at the judicial interest rate, currently around 6% as published by the Commissioner of Financial Institutions.
💰 Wage Garnishment Rules
📜 Louisiana Revised Statutes § 13:3881
Louisiana provides significant wage protection. Only the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30 times minimum wage may be garnished—with additional protections for heads of household earning less than certain thresholds. Louisiana uses a “Garnishment” proceeding with service on the employer.
🏠 Louisiana Homestead Exemption
📜 Louisiana Revised Statutes § 20:1
Louisiana’s homestead exemption protects up to $35,000 in equity (or up to $75,000 if the debtor is over 65 or a surviving spouse). The exemption applies to a homestead of up to 5 acres. Given Louisiana’s generally moderate property values, this exemption protects many homeowners’ equity entirely, though properties in New Orleans and other higher-value areas may have reachable equity.
🚗 Vehicle Exemptions
📜 Louisiana Revised Statutes § 13:3881(A)(2)
Louisiana does not have a specific dollar-value motor vehicle exemption. However, one motor vehicle may be exempt if necessary for the debtor’s employment or business. This fact-specific determination requires investigation.
⚡ Bank Levies in Louisiana
📜 Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Art. 2411
Louisiana allows bank account seizure through a “Writ of Fieri Facias” (fi fa) served on the financial institution. Louisiana exempts the greater of 75% of disposable earnings or 30 times minimum wage when held in bank accounts, providing protection for recent wage deposits.
💡 Louisiana’s Unique Civil Law System
Louisiana’s civil law heritage creates terminology and procedures unfamiliar to attorneys from common law states. “Parishes” rather than counties, “Writs of Fieri Facias” rather than executions, and distinct procedural requirements all require local expertise. Our Louisiana skip tracing navigates these unique requirements to support your collection efforts.
