Legal Disclaimer

Important Notice: This visualizer is provided for informational and planning purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Custody arrangements are subject to court approval and must reflect the best interests of the child under Louisiana law (La. Civ. Code art. 134). Absent an agreement between the parents, Louisiana’s default is joint custody (La. Civ. Code art. 132); a court may award sole custody only on clear and convincing evidence that it serves the child’s best interest, and joint-custody implementation orders are governed by La. R.S. 9:335. Custody day counts are calculated automatically based on schedule entries and are approximate; actual counts for child support purposes must be determined pursuant to a court-approved custody order. The 73-day threshold referenced herein is drawn from La. R.S. 9:315.8(E)(2); the court may, in its discretion, order a credit—this is not automatic. Consult current statutory text before relying on this figure. Contact Aertker Legal, L.L.C. for a confidential consultation before relying on any schedule for legal purposes.
