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.
Sole custody means one parent gets all, or almost all, physical custody. The other parent is only allowed to have periods of visitation, and those are sometimes supervised. The sole custodian parent also gets all authority to make decisions. The non-custodial parent is still obligated to pay child support.
The legal definition of an unfit parent is when the parent through their conduct fails to provide proper guidance, care, or support. Also, if there is abuse, neglect, or substance abuse issues, that parent will be deemed unfit.
No. If parents can agree, and their agreement is in the best interest of the child, the Court can accept it. The law does not allow such an agreement when there has been a history of family violence. Otherwise, the law favors joint custody, unless it is not in the best interest of the child.
According to family law, the mother automatically gains custody of the child if she is unwed to the father. There is no need for unwed mothers to take legal actions to fight for the childs custodial rights, even the decision to determine the fathers role in their childs life.

Unmarried Fathers and Child Custody 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.
Under state law, both mothers and fathers are treated equally during child custody cases, so if it is within the childs best interest to primarily reside with the father, that is the custody agreement the judge orders.
On an hourly basis, child custody lawyers (or family law attorneys) typically charge $225-$325 an hour. However, lawyer rates and fees can docHub $350-$400 an hour. The type of of dispute, a need for third-party experts, and the attorney selected all affect the total cost of legal fees.
A father may receive sole custody in cases where the mother is unfit or unable to provide a safe and caring home for the child. Both parents are evaluated equally in the courts to determine a custody situation that will be best for the childs physical and mental wellbeing.
If parents are unmarried at the time of their childs birth, the mother is presumed to have custody. However, by completing the paternity form, the father can ask the court for visitation rights and share in custody arrangements.
