My daughter's dad filed for a child support modification over the summer this year. He did not show up to the hearing so there were no changes made to the child support order. Since then, I have had to add my daughter to my health insurance and enroll her in before/after school care. I filed for a... Read more »
Nope social media not enough. Try certified mail, fax to his work, AND email him. Then print all and bring to court.
My daughter was in the care of my mother at the time. She allowed my daughter to visit my sister in Louisiana. But now my sister will not let me have her back.
You have not explained why your daughter was in your mother's care. If there was no court order granting custody to your mother, then you should just be able to show up at your sister's home and call the police. If there is a prior custody order, then you need to hire a custody lawyer in the same... Read more »

Yes the parent can deny you access. Consult with a custody lawyer and find out if you have "standing" to seek visitation.
An attorney who handles family law (custody/visitation) can help you with this.
My children’s father recently took me to court to seek custody 50/50. It was granted to him. Since then my oldest who is 10 has started to struggle in school, he’s usually tested for gifted every year and now he’s barely passing. During his last parent teacher conference which dad... Read more »
It may be enough. Put everything on a calendar. Then have your custody lawyer depose the teachers.
Court was in July. Ex is not following judgment as agreed upon. Not in writing but was stated effective immediately
Your question implies that the Court verbally issued a Judgment in open court. The Judgment was reduced to writing but you or your attorney has not yet signed. Doesn't matter, the Court Reporter recorded it and that can be a binding judgment. Call your lawyer or hire one.
Can I file for a lump sum settlement or have it reduced? I read that the statue of limitations is 10 years for paying arrears for the state of Louisiana. I am barely surviving financially.
Child support should not exceed 50% of your gross. The recipient has 10 years to get a Judgment of arrears. Then that Judgment needs to be renewed every 10 years.
The father has asked to have his rights signed over so i can have my sons name changed back to mine if i drop child support. He has not seen or asked about the child in over 14 months
He can only sign over his rights if you have a subsequent husband who wants to adopt the child.
She told them that she had scratch herself accidentally and the bump on her head was from her and her sister and friends playing and fell down

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?

can the curator sign legal documents on behalf of the interdicted? I need the law that says this is a right or responsibility
A Curator can sign documents on behalf of an Interdict if it is a Financial Interdiction or Medical Interdiction, depending on the type and duration of the Interdiction. Call the lawyer who did the Interdiction.
My ex received a judgement of 400,000 and 40,000 was awarded to his minor non custodial kids. How do I find out who the check was written to or if it is in a trust account for them. My ex will not give me nor the kids any information. If he has spent it, is there a way to hold him accountable?
Hire a child support attorney who can get that information for you.
.
Child can be named after mother or father or combination of both. any subsequent changes have to be agreed to by both and signed by a Judge.
I just want to know if my kids( I am custodian mother) portion should have gone in a trust for my minor kids.
It should go to you.

1) Hire a custody lawyer,
2) who can prepare an objection to relocation,
3) who can also prepare a Petition for Ex Parte Custody, Custody, and Child Support.
Hurry you only have 30 days for some of this after the kids are relocated.
Yes until you file a Petition to Disavow and get a signed Judgment. But of course, this cuts off your visitation/custody also.

You already asked this question. It is hard to follow. The first order of child support is unaffected by any subsequent orders of child or spousal support.

You need to consult with a child support attorney because your question is very confusing. Subsequent child support orders do not affect the earlier child support order.
