Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
what should she do
my sister is in a bind.. He ex and mother took her custody some yrs ago of her kids. However they got back together. Broke back up and the kids have been with her ever since. Abt six yrs now. She has been doing very well for herself and taking care of them. She finally got the courage to take them to court for custody.They returned an answer and out right denied the childern have been living with her! It has been six yrs so where have the childern been living all these yrs? She has school papers etc. The only thing I can think off is that her ex is looking at the time that he was living with her and is looking at that as the childern not ''living'' with her but with ''them''. But she enrolled them in school with her address and he was not on her lease so they were living with her. I take it that that they have told an un-truth and they know that they did! He does not call the kids or help her or vist and had the nerve to say he wants to share custdody. I know that she would have to go to medation first right?

Re: what should she do
There really wasn't much of a question in there but I will try to addres the issues.
You said she filed for custody. If she used a lawyer she should discuss her options with her lawyer.
Some people do lie in their pleadings. The best solution is to bring proof of the truth to court. The school records, etc. are probably the best proof. Most judges make things difficult for those caught lying to them.
