What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
My ex husband and I have been divorced since February 2010. We have two children but since one was born after we filed for divorce, she was not included in the papers. There is joint custody on our 5 year old son. A domestic situation happened last weekend and now i am scared to send my daughter (16 months) to his house because there is no custody pending as of yet. He works out of town and leaves the children with his sister while he is away during his visitation. My question is this: If I send her with her brother for visitation, and he does not return her to me, is there anything I can do to get her back from my ex-sister-in-law after he leaves to go back out of state to work? And also, if he files for custody of her during while he has her, am I correct in saying that he does not have to return her until a judge rules on the case? I am the domicillary parent of the 5 year old, will a judge grant him custody of her and split my children, even though i am more than fit to raise them? Please.... help me if you can. I went to a lawyer but I am in a catch 22 with my parish of residence and the parish that had jurisdiction of the divorce and they cant really help.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
