Home issues are happening and im tired of being dictated by my parents for anything i do, is there a way i can move out?
answered on Jul 12, 2020
Absolutely not. You are a minor and your parents are completely within their rights to dictate your actions and liberties because they are also completely responsible for your actions and poor decisions.

I currently reside in Jefferson Parish and my ex, in St. Tammany. My child told me his dad is buying a home in Metairie or New Orleans soon, so I wonder, will St. Tammany court lose jurisdiction?

There is no custody agreement. I haven’t seen my daughter in over a year but if I can convince my ex wife to let me get my daughter for a few hours what can my ex wife do legally if I don’t bring our daughter back to her?

She can't do anything to you. You should file for custody while you have her.

Have joint custody with me as custodial parent. Also have a child support judgement. She is in arrears do I have to let her claim a kid for tax purposes? Her child support is only been paid once by her taxes and once by stimulus check. Never by her or her job.

You need a custody lawyer to get her back unless it was a custody by mandate. If it is, then it was only good for one year and you can revoke it.
So custody was decided when she was little and he lives an hour away. She goes every other weekend, and now that she’s in high school she doesn’t want to continue doing that, as her whole life, social life, etc is with me. Isn’t the other parent supposed to be understanding and accommodating... View More

Hire a custody lawyer to modify custody. She has some say but not the final say.
My lawyer advised to contact Louisiana Child protective services to get sole custody. How involved will they get? I would rather stay way from CPS if at all possible, I don't want to get wrapped up in that red tape
answered on Jun 4, 2020
Completely agree with your instinct. Do NOT call CPS. Hire a custody lawyer to file for Ex Parte Custody immediately.
Should the father take action or allow the 14 year old to make his own decision to not honor custody agreement? The child doesn't want to visit because he doesnt like that their are time limits on video games and he is expected to do chores.
