Dear LawGuru Friend,
You ask whether you "have to". The answer is
"No!" If you had asked, whether he might obtain
the right to visit with and see the child, the best
answer that I can give is "Yes!" However, your
former boyfriend will have to take legal action to
assert whatever rights he may be able to prove
he has. There is a lot more to it all than this,
but this is something to think about. If you can
afford it, buy you a copy of LOUISIANA FAMILY
LAW GUIDE and begin to read and learn what's
in it. It costs only about $20.00, plus postage
and shipping from Pelican Publishing Company
in Gretna, LA--Goggle it! If you will e-mail
me at [email protected] with your
name and phone number, I will call you and
discuss this matter further with you. There will
be no charge.
Sincerely,
