Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

bad parent

i didnt hear from my husband for

over a week, he finally called from

offshore. We have a baby together,

he went out and spent over 600.00

of our marital money on hotel and

atm withdraws (drugs), he cut off his

direct deposit so we dont have any

income; his phone records show calls

at all hours of the night. My car is on

its last leg, I have children to

transport places I have no job; no

dependable way to go look for one;

and no money for a babysitter; my

family lives out of state. Now he tells

me that he is going to take my baby

from me. I am a good mother with

no criminal history at ALL! Can his

man legally treat me like this?

Re: bad parent

He can treat you as badly as you let him. Get to legal aid and get their help. You will need an emergency order for custody and to attempt to get money from his employer. You may not be able to do it as quickly as you need, but you have to move. If I am not wrong, I believe this is the 2nd or 3rd time you have asked this question, so you are letting time pass.
