This is the third of five articles on child custody in Louisiana, and it goes through the various ways of setting it. To begin with, child custody can be set during a divorce or really even at almost any other time it can be possible to set child custody. There are generally four ways to go about setting it. The first is to have an informal agreement between the parties (by informal, it is meant that the court does not sign off on it). The second is to have an arrangement that is consensual to both parties that is approved by the court. The third is to have a partially consent and partially court determined decision. The fourth method is to have the court completely set custody after considering the best interests of the child.Before going through these, it is best to think of what is in the best interest of the child. This is because this is simply how the court will make its decision. However, there are certain circumstances whereby it can be beneficial to make a decision based on the law and the present circumstances of the parties. Obviously, after divorce or other marital a breakup, it may be hard not to be self-interested as there may be a lot of pressure on you, such as financial, social, or otherwise. Such pressure may be manifested in the desire to win. It should be understood however that by coming to a consent agreement each side is losing a little but winning in that they are avoiding tremendous animosity in the family.Getting back on track, the first option that the parents have is to make an informal arrangement as to how they will allocate custody and visitation of their child while maintaining separate homes. While this may be emotionally difficult to do after divorce and because communication may not be what it should be in order to make sure that this will be a smooth arrangement, it is probably the best for the parties and for the child. After all, if the parties are able to find a way fairly and equitably to settle their differences, there is no need for the courts to get involved as long as the parties will adhere to this agreement.If there is a concern that the parties would not be able to adhere to the agreement they make themselves, it is simply possible to have this agreement approved by a court. This would make it so that violating it could result in contempt of court or other penalties. It would also make it more difficult to change the agreement later on as opposed to an agreement that is simply made between the parties and without the court's approval. It should be noted however that is generally not very difficult to change such agreements after they have been signed by court as long as there has been some sort of material change in circumstances.
