In most cases, Louisiana courts encourage joint custody arrangements, where both parents share legal and physical custody of the child. However, if the court determines that joint custody is not in the childs best interests, it may award sole custody to one parent.
Nationwide, a father is likely to receive about 35% of child custody time. See how your state compares below. If youre co-parenting, you may want to try Custody X Change. It helps you keep track of your schedule, calculate your parenting time and write a parenting plan.
In Louisiana, the judge gives parents equal time, i.e., shared custody, if its in the best interests of the child and possible for the parents. (The exception is when parents agree not to have shared custody.) An equal time schedule for an older child could involve alternating weeks.
A visitation schedule in a standard agreement typically has the child visit the noncustodial parent every other weekend from Friday evening until Sunday evening (an alternating weekends schedule). In some jurisdictions, the parent also sees the child for a few hours one evening during the week.
