Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Re: Kid

First, I have no idea how old you are, but I'm glad you are generous enough to put a child's needs in the forefront of your life.

Taking custody of a child away from a parent is complicated and often expensive. Based on your description of the situation, the child's father is not doing his part either. It is important to understand all the people involved because you might end up with all of these people opposing you.

I suggest you talk to your grandma, not necessarily about your plans but to get an idea of what she feels about the situation. After that, you should talk to an experienced family law attorney and get an idea of the legal pitfalls and the litigation costs.

Best wishes

Re: Kid

I agree with Mr. Casanave. I am guessing you are fairly young and you need to take a hard look at exactly what is entailed with raising a child...not a "kid."
