Complete·5/22/26

Louisiana HB112 specifies how miles are measured for relocation of a child.

Louisiana HB112 amends the state's Children's Code to specify how miles are measured for the relocation of a child. The bill mandates that miles be measured by the shortest distance on navigable roads from the child's current principal residence to the new intended principal residence. This change applies to custody orders issued on or after August 15, 1997, unless the existing order expressly governs relocation. The bill also provides for technical changes and sets an effective date of January 1, 2027.
