At what age can a child choose which parent to live with in Louisiana?
ANSWER: There is no magical age – as when someone becomes old enough to drive – that the courts automatically begin to consider the child’s preferences when awarding custody. However, just around the age of 12 is when the judges do begin to factor in the child’s input and concerns as to a custody arrangement.
Is there a difference between shared and joint custody?
Joint Custody does not mean that the children live half time with each parent. Parents who choose this type of custody usually are unable to communicate or make decisions cooperatively regarding their children’s needs and situation. Shared Custody is where the children live more or less equally with both parents.
What is a domicile parent?
The domiciliary parent is the parent with whom the child shall primarily reside, but the other parent shall have physical custody during the time periods that assure frequent and continuing contact with both parents” 2.“
What are the child support laws in Louisiana?
Yes, because the law requires a non-custodial parent (that is, a parent who does not live with the child) pay a minimum amount of child support. That minimum amount is $100.00 a month for any number of children. But if your custody arrangement is shared or split custody, then there is no requirement.
