Your daughter should go to the attorney general in her state and file for child support. If the father also lives in Louisiana, the case would move forward in Louisiana. If the father lives in another state, the case will move forward in that state. Your daughter should be in contact with the court in the other state and request to appear by phone for any hearings. This process may take a long time. If your daughter hires a private attorney, her case could move forward more quickly.
