Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

In Louisiana, if a child is legally domiciled in one parish, yet both parents (who were never married and have joint custody) each live in the same parish, yet different from the one the child is domiciled in, how long do both parents have to live in that parish before the child can be domiciled in the new parish?

Domicile is residency with an intent to remain. If the child no longer resides in the parish of his former domicile, he is no longer domiciled there. He is domiciled immediately in the new parish where he resides and where his parents intend him to stay.
