Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Will the Deadbeat Mom prevail?
My fiance was granted FULL PHYSICAL custody of his son when the baby was 5 months old by Hawaii's court. The baby is now 19mos. For the past 14 months the mother has not paid her $50 a month child support or visited baby. Her visitation was one summer month and biannual holidays. Recently she demanded to see him outside of the original court order, and my fiance complied, and she had the baby for 2wks (after not seeing him for a year)My fiance was recently served because she NOW wants to have joint custody.
Will the courts favor her since she is his bio mom? will they consider that she has never shown an interest in the child? (she left the baby with her mother when he was a month old and has seen him less than 3 months of his whole life) She does not work, and has a health condition that she refuses to disclose to my fiance. She has never provided the court ordered medical care, support, or {until recently}visited!
My fiance is a good man who loves and provides for his son and has done so--SOLELY. He lives in Louisiana. Will they force him into joint custody even though Hawaii set the guidelines? Will the Uniform Custody thing apply since its kinda intrastate? What rights does the bio mom have? HELP!

He needs a lawyer.
He should file to make the judgment executory in Louisiana, for contempt (past due child support), and an increase in child support (even minimum wage workers are made to pay more than $50.00 per month. Louisiana is now the child's home and she would have to come here to change things once he files in Louisiana.
