Louisiana’s updated custody laws took effect August 1, 2026, including changes involving equal sharing of physical custody and the standards for modifying custody orders. But a change in the law doesn’t automatically mean your existing order changes.
If your family’s circumstances have changed, or you’re unsure how the new law applies to your situation, it may be worth getting legal guidance.
