Re: Child custody issue

File to have the Judgment made executory in Louisiana. That is, recognized as a Judgment of this State. I assume you want to do it because the other person affected by the Judgment lives in Louisiana. Anyway, look at Code of Civil Procedure 2541 and also Louisiana Revised Statute Title 13 Section 4241 and the sections following that one. Or, hire an attorney to do it for you.
