Messina v. Palmer

Supreme Court of Louisiana
Messina v. Palmer, 403 So. 2d 63 (La. 1981)
1981 La. LEXIS 8616
Dixon

Messina v. Palmer

Concurring Opinion

DIXON, C.J.,

concurs in the denial. Re-latrix, under an order not to remove the children from the state of Washington, brought them to Louisiana when a sociologist’s report recommended joint custody, and physical custody in the father. The Washington court, on learning this, ordered the custody given to the father. R.S. 13:1707(B) prohibits modifying that decree “unless required in the interest of the child.” There is no showing that such modification is required. One object of the statute is to prevent such removals of children.

Opinion of the Court

In Re: Donna Lee Messina, applying for Supervisory writs of Certiorari, Prohibition, Mandamus, and writ of Review, and stay order, Parish of Orleans, No. 81-5925; 81-5476.

Denied.
