Louisiana Custody and Visitation Law
Louisiana courts typically have not restricted the custody and visitation of lesbian or gay parents as long as they conceal their sexual orientations. It would seem that courts would not look favorably on granting custody and/or visitation to a lesbian or gay parent who did not conceal his or her sexual orientation or the nature of a relationship with a same-sex partner. There are no reported or published opinions dealing with transgender parents or same-sex co-parents.
