West Monroe, LA asked in Child Custody, Child Support and Family Law for Louisiana

Q: Mother of child wants to change everything now, including less time for me with child. Is she legally able to do this

Things have been fine since we did our initial custody/child support agreement 5 years ago. She now wants more money and much more time with her. Can she legally keep me from seeing our daughter? Said I will be served soon. What steps can I take to ensure things stay the same?
