Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Reasonable Visitation
My husband was divorced from his first wife in 1999. In his divorce decree, he was granted joint custody and ''reasonable visitation''. We need to know what is meant by this visitation. Would it be the same as what Texas refers to as ''standard visitation''? The ex-wife only granted visitation on sunday afternoons up until about 1 year ago, and now we only get visitation of the kids when it is at her convienence. We need a more concrete idea of the visitation rights. He pays child support faithfully and always has, we also pay her for a non-existant medical insurance policy, what can be done about that?

Re: Reasonable Visitation
"Reasonable visitation" is the least helpful phrase ever written on a court order. Seldom are both members of a divorced couple reasonable.
Your husband needs to petition the court, preferrably through an attorney, for regularly scheduled visitation.
As to the nonexistant insurance, you can have child support recalculated. Remember however that if his income has significantly increased then his support obligation will increase accordingly.
