Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Modification of Custody decree - going it alone
My ex-husband was awarded custody by considered decree in October 2000. There was no court awarded visitation agreement. We drew one up jointly and have been following it since then. He now wishes to limit the time I spend with my son to a total of about 8 weeks out of the year. I want to have the court adopt a visitation plan and have set a hearing to do so. I also petitioned the court to modify custody based on my x's being unreasonable and disrupting my child's routine. What will the court be looking for when I attend my hearing? I am going it alone as I can afford no attorney and make too much $ for legal services--go figure.

Re: Modification of Custody decree - going it alone

There are lawyers who will work with you about fees.

Because your husband has a considered decree, I am reluctant to say what the courts would do without examining the decree.

You need a lawyer to review the decree and handle your case.
