“Custody” is the term used in Louisiana for legal custody of a child. Note that is not exactly the same as “physical custody”. Even when parents have “joint custody” of their child, one parent usually has “primary physical custody” (“domiciliary parent”), while the other will get “visitation” or “physical custody time”, as set out in the judgment.
