- A: The other parent continues to have rights unless and until a court terminates those rights. Generally that will only happen if the state files to terminate his rights or if the child is being adopted, such as by your spouse.
- Q. I am in the process of filing my divorce in Louisiana. We have no assets or children. I was told I am missing a P&D.
- A: I'm assuming what you're talking about is a "PD" or a preliminary default. Once the defendant's delays for filing an answer or other responsive pleadings have passed, you have to file a preliminary default before confirming the default and taking a judgment.

- A: The burden of proving that your mother lacked the mental capacity to know what she was signing would fall on you. You need an attorney who is familiar with this area or law to help you. The sooner you contest the will, the better.

- A: If you believe your granddaughter is not in a stable environment, you need to discuss the issue with a custody lawyer as soon as possible.
- Q. Power of attorney question in Louisiana
- A: I would recommend having the power of attorney drafted by a professional to ensure that it is in the correct form. It would need to be filed with the clerk of court for a bank to accept it, as they will require a certified copy of the POA.
- Q. is an affidavit of reconciliation required to be reconciled in louisiana
- A: No, an affidavit is not required. Whether the parties have reconciled is a matter for the judge to decide if the parties aren't in agreement.
- Q. hub and I split separation he now threaten to take the oldest dog away by reg her under ESA can he do that to me ?
