Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
child custody
My husband has not been home
since saturday. I have had to cancel
the debit card because of the many
ATM transactions. ( I dont know if his
card has been stolen or hes up to no
good and cant get a hold of him to
ask) I did send an email letting him
know but have not heard back
We have a 14 month old baby and
have been legally married in
Louisiana for 3 years. He has
assaulted me with a gun in 2006
leading me to legally evict him and
also apply for a restraining order and
call the police. He talked me into
dropping the charges and letting him
move back in of course.
About a year ago we drafted a
document clearly stating that should
problems arise in our marraige
resulting in seperation/divorce or
another assault on me that he gives
me sole physical and legal custodial
rights to the baby. And all decisions
regarding the baby are left to me
including his visitation.
Will this document be enough to
keep him from snatching the baby?
Or should I file another restaining
order and not be talked out of it!
Do I need to evict him all over again?

Re: child custody
It will help you in court, but you must file for divorce, and immediate custody of your child. You have wasted too much time already. Do it today or you will regret it and he could take your child.
