Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Multiple State Child Custody Question
Is it possible to get a temporary emergency change of custody in the state of Louisiana? Custody of child was given to grandparents. Per verbal agreement, custody was only temporary change. Now grandparents refuse to return child, and the child's permanent residence was moved from CT to LA without parents' consent. Mother wants child back in CT, but grandparents will not return. Can mother request temporary custody while child is visiting in CT?

Re: Multiple State Child Custody Question
Is there a written custody order (signed by a judge)? If so, what does it say? That order controls everything.
Re: Multiple State Child Custody Question
If the court never entered a judgment in the custody issue, the court does not have jurisdiction. You remain the legal guardian. You do not need the grandparents permission to have your child unless the court transferred custody to them.
