Louisiana Laws - Louisiana State Legislature. A. The mandate of provisional custody shall be effective for the term stipulated, but the stated term shall not exceed one year from the date of execution.
Provisional custody is a term referring to the temporary custody of a minor by a parent during litigation of a divorce, dissolution, or separation, or by someone other than the parents.
What is Provisional Custody by Mandate? It is a temporary transfer of legal custody by the childs parent or parents naming another person to have care, custody, and control of a minor child.
Unlike permanent custody, temporary custody does not establish long-term legal rights over the child; its a short-term solution intended to ensure the childs safety and well-being until a more permanent decision can be made.
Its a common misconception that temporary orders directly determine permanent custody outcomes or automatically become permanent. However, a judge will consider parents compliance with temporary orders and the childs well-being during that period when making the final decision.
