If a judge gave you custody, then the parent would have to file for a change of custody to get her back. You can adopt if the parents have failed to pay child support and visit her for at least 6 months. Hire an adoption lawyer.

Yes city courts in Bogalusa, Slidell and Denham Springs can hear CINC cases. If the attorney for the parent was public defender, they may not be able to do appeals. Appeal must be filed in District Court in Covington quickly. Hire a private Juvenile Court lawyer.
