Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
child custody
So my daughter is 2 and a 1/2 now.
Her mother has had almost nothing
to do with her since she was born.
She came around a couple days
every month or so for the first year
and now hasn't lived in the same
state as me and my child for over a
year only visiting once or twice over
the year for maybe a day or two. She
does not pay child support nor do i
want her to. As of now i have Co-
custody of her with me being the
domicile parent, where she is only
suppose to get her for 2 weekends a
month but like i said she doesn't
even live here. Now I am worried
that i'm raising my daughter alone
and she is my entire world and i am
fine with that, but i don't want her
mother to be able to come back in
the picture a few years from now
after the baby is all grown up and
able to take care of herself and try to
fight me for rights and take my
daughter from me at all after i had
raised her by myself and she has
done nothing for her. Is there
anything i can do to prevent her from
coming back in 3-4 years and
deciding she wants to play mom then
since my daughter is old enough to
do for herself and is in school then?

Re: child custody
First of all, child support is for the child, not you. You should have had the court assign child support to her. If you are married, and your wife wishes to adopt the child, then see a family law specialist, or adoption specialist to find out how you can do that. If she truly has not been around, there is little chance the mother could get the child unless you are not being frank about all of the circumstances.
