Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Re: can my x hide my kids from me?

Dear LawGuru Friend,

You are being done wrong! You have a right to know where your children are being kept. You need to take her back to court to see if you can't get some justice, such as: (1) Taking joint custody away from her, or (2) Having the judge instruct her that she must keep you notified of her and the children's address when she has them. If the judge does so instruct her, then she is in big trouble if she does that again. She is being totally unreasonable, and the court will not tolerate such behavior; and you should not either. If you do not know where you can find her to serve her with papers, you might have to file the papers in advance and have the sheriff standing by to serve them on her the next time she shows up to get the kids for her visitation/joint custody, or when she returns them to you for your visitation/joint custody. Don't tolerate her behavior! Straighten her our now, lest you be tormented by her for years to come! Best of luck!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.

Lake Charles, LA

Hire a private investigator to get her address then file a contempt rule on her since you have not been able to have your visitation.
