You really need to speak with a Louisiana attorney who handles custody matters. There's a lot of additional information the lawyer would need to know to answer the question, such as where the child was born and when the petition was filed.
First time ever going through this situation. I need an Louisiana Lawyer

Use the Find a Lawyer tab and search for either a criminal defense lawyer and/or possibly a family law lawyer (depending on the circumstances of the protective order) in the area where your son is located. Call a few lawyers and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. Good luck.
To commute. This puts him on the road at 6 AM (he got his license in June so still not experienced driver)to get to school on time.

If a Judge will entertain the legal document filed and have a hearing, then yes, however, if you do not already have one. then you need to retain a custody/support lawyer to assist and represent you in this matter. Good luck.
Like if we come up with a agreement before court can the courts just put our agreement in motion
answered on Aug 22, 2022
Yes, if both sides reach an agreement and reduce it to write, then you may submit it to the Court for approval. Depending on the agreement and how the written document is prepared, the Court may still want you to appear in Court to confirm that each side is in agreement.

Your post is unclear but if an ex-parte is filed, the filing side is supposed to certify to the court the efforts made to notify the other party and/or other party's lawyer. But I am not sure if that answer the inquiry you are seeking.
My ex-husband has been incarcerated for 8 years and hasn’t helped raise or financially support our child. Does he still have parental rights? Can I ask him to give up his rights?
