Zachary, LA asked in Family Law, Child Custody, Child Support and Juvenile Law for Louisiana

Q: Can custody and child support be heard in two different parish courts? when there's a court order of domicile parent.

In September 2019, I was rewarded domicile parent in 19th JDC. My child mother was rewarded of visitation every other weekend. on same day of render judgement, the excise on the judgement began. My child mother kidnapped my child and never return the minor child. when she had illegal custody of minor child, she became a fugitive from justice with minor child. The mother applied for child support DCFS in the 24th JDC for child support. Legally can the 24th JDC can rule on child support case? furtherly when I file for child support in DCFS in East Baton Rouge parish. DCFS submitted back to 24th JDC because they say the case started there and have to stay there. Under the jurisdiction and subject matter laws can that happen? when there's a render judgement of domicile custody in the 19th JDC.

A: Your attorney can file for child support in your custody case in 19th JDC and can file an exception in 24th JDC to child support since you are domiciliary parent.
