LA Rev Stat § 9:361 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 9 - Civil Code-Ancillaries|§361. Legislative findings

RS 361 - Legislative findings  The legislature hereby reiterates its previous findings and statements of purpose set forth in R.S. 46:2121 and 2131 relative to family violence and domestic violence. The legislature further finds that the problems of family violence do not necessarily cease when the victimized family is legally separated or divorced. In fact, the violence often escalates, and child custody and visitation become the new forum for the continuation of the abuse. Because current laws relative to child custody and visitation are based on an assumption that even divorcing parents are in relatively equal positions of power, and that such parents act in the children's best interest, these laws often work against the protection of the children and the abused spouse in families with a history of family violence. Consequently, laws designed to act in the children's best interest may actually effect a contrary result due to the unique dynamics of family violence.  Acts 1992, No. 1091, §1.
LA Rev Stat § 9:363 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 9 - Civil Code-Ancillaries|§363. Ordered mediation prohibited

Acts 1992, No. 1091, §1.
LA Rev Stat § 9:364 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 9 - Civil Code-Ancillaries|§364. Child custody; visitation

RS 364 - Child custody; visitation  A. There is created a presumption that no parent who has a history of perpetrating family violence, as defined in R.S. 9:362, or domestic abuse, as defined in R.S. 46:2132, or has subjected any of his or her children, stepchildren, or any household member, as defined in R.S. 46:2132, to sexual abuse, as defined in R.S. 14:403, or has willingly permitted another to abuse any of his children or stepchildren, despite having the ability to prevent the abuse, shall be awarded sole or joint custody of children. The court may find a history of perpetrating family violence if the court finds that one incident of family violence has resulted in serious bodily injury or the court finds more than one incident of family violence.  B. The presumption shall be overcome only if the court finds all of the following by a preponderance of the evidence:  (1) The perpetrating parent has successfully completed a court-monitored domestic abuse intervention program as defined in R.S. 9:362, or a treatment program designed for sexual abusers, after the last instance of abuse.  (2) The perpetrating parent is not abusing alcohol or using illegal substances scheduled in R.S. 40:964.  (3) The best interest of the child or children, considering the factors listed in Civil Code Article 134, requires the perpetrating parent's participation as a custodial parent because of the other parent's absence, mental illness, substance abuse, or other circumstance negatively affecting the child or children.  C. The fact that the abused parent suffers from the effects of the abuse shall not be grounds for denying that parent custody.  D. If the court finds that both parents have a history of perpetrating family violence, custody shall be awarded solely to the parent who is less likely to continue to perpetrate family violence. In such a case, the court shall mandate completion of a court-monitored domestic abuse intervention program by the custodial parent. If necessary to protect the welfare of the child, custody may be awarded to a suitable third person pursuant to Civil Code Article 133, provided that the person would not allow access to a violent parent except as ordered by the court.  E. If the court finds that a parent has a history of perpetrating family violence, the court shall allow only supervised child visitation with that parent pursuant to R.S. 9:341.  F. If any court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that a parent has sexually abused his or her child or children, the court shall prohibit all visitation and contact between the abusive parent and the children pursuant to R.S. 9:341.  Acts 1992, No. 1091, §1; Acts 1995, No. 888, §1; Acts 2014, No. 194, §1; Acts 2018, No. 412, §2, eff. May 23, 2018.

If the court authorizes visitation with an incarcerated parent, as part of such visitation order the court shall include restrictions, conditions, and safeguards as are necessary to protect the mental and physical health of the child and minimize the risk of harm to the child. B. A court considering the supervised visitation of a minor child with an incarcerated parent shall consider the best interest of the child, including but not limited to: (1) The length and quality of the prior relationship between the child and the parent. (2) Whether the child is in need of guidance, enlightenment, or tutelage which can best be provided by the parent. (3) The preference of the child if he is determined to be of sufficient maturity to express a preference. (4) The willingness of the relative to encourage a close relationship between the child and his parent or parents, including the willingness of the child's custodial parent, caretaker, or legal guardian to voluntarily take the child to the incarcerated parent's place of incarceration for supervised visitation. (5) The mental and physical health of the child and the parent. (6) The length of time that the child lived with the parent prior to the parent's incarceration. (7) The desirability of maintaining the continuity of the relationship between the child and the incarcerated parent. (8) The costs of travel and other expenses incurred by visitation at the place of incarceration, and who will bear responsibility for such costs. (9) The effect upon the child of supervised visitation in the place of incarceration and the feasibility, if any, of alternative or additional use of technology for visitation pursuant to R.S. 9:357. (10) Other testimony or evidence as the court may consider applicable. Acts 2014, No. 383, §1.
