Non-Parent Custody Attorney in Louisiana

Helping Grandparents, Relatives, and Caregivers Protect the Children They Love

In some cases, a child’s biological parents may be unable to provide a safe, stable environment. When this happens, non-parents—such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, or close family friends—may seek legal custody to provide the child with the care they need. At Gaudin Law Group, we help non-parents navigate Louisiana’s custody laws to secure the best possible outcome for the child’s well-being.
