In order to facilitate as much time as possible with both parents, Louisiana parents with custody of their children cannot move more than 75 miles away from the other parent following a divorce without a court order. This includes moving out of state as well as moving within Louisiana.
Joint Custody means both parents share the care and decision-making ability for a child. Both parents have periods of physical custody, but one may have more physical custody time than the other. Joint custody is preferred in Louisiana.
Louisiana child custody laws have their own preferences Louisiana child custody laws can apply joint custody to both physical and legal types of custody. A co-parent with physical custody acts as the primary residence for the child and handles the day-to-day care of the child.
To modify a consent order of custody, the parent seeking to change the custody arrangement must show two (2) things: (1) there has been a material change in circumstances since the date of the most recent custody order; AND. (2) the proposed change in custody is in the best interest of the children.
For married couples, parenting rights are equal and immediate at the time of birth. For unmarried parents, all rights belong to the mother. Unmarried fathers have no legal rights to custody or visitation. Fighting for the right to see your child is possible with the help of a Louisiana lawyer.
