Hello,
To a certain extent, it will depend on the laws of Ohio. While your son did not get any "custody," he may have gotten "visitation." Therefore, it behooves you to get a copy of the judgment from the Ohio court and speak with an attorney about your options. IF he got visitation, he may be able to exercise that visitation in Louisiana with court approval. Under the UCCJEA, that Ohio judgment may be enforced in Louisiana and visitation may be carried out.
There are a number of variables inherent in this situation. Indeed any time you deal with cross-jurisdictional battles, problems are multiplied. Call The Civil Law Center, LLC at 504-342-4221 and set up an appointment to talk to a lawyer. Every attorney there has experience dealing with cross-border disputes on custody. If possible, bring a copy of that Ohio judgment so they can see what the court determined.
Thanks!
