Hey all,
I have to represent myself from here on out. I'm planning to hire a custody evaluator soon, my case is currently waiting for an appeal date. I'm in Louisiana. Do I have to wait for the appeal to be done and jurisdiction be handed back down to the trial court? BTW it is a purely civil case. The statutes say that either party can request an evaluation for good cause shown. How do I go about showing cause? Are there examples of requests for custody evaluation somewhere?
Should I subpoena police to bring in evidence that was not brought in during the hearing? Should I subpoena witnesses, neighbors, family, etc? Does this need to be done to request the eval, or just show all the material to the evaluator?
Thanks
