I'm the custodial parent of a 4 year old child who spent a year and a half of his life with his aunt on his father's side in Louisiana. My son and I are both residents of Illinois.
Since my son has returned back home with me, I've not spoken to the aunt since--I'd rather not get into the reasons why, but there are safety issues with the aunt and have felt it's in my child's best interest to cut ties. The aunt is now taking me to court in Louisiana for visitation. I'm unemployed, cannot afford an attorney, cannot afford to travel to contest visitation and am having horrible time trying to get any kind of legal assistance in Louisiana to contest visitation.
I have a few questions, one being, when she's granted visitation and I don't comply....what can Louisiana possibly do to me for non compliance for visitation with an aunt? How can I get legal help down there?
