§355.17.  Modification of custody

Providing notice of a proposed relocation does not constitute a change of circumstance warranting a change of custody.  Relocating without prior notice if there is a court order awarding custody or relocating in violation of a court order may constitute a change of circumstances warranting a modification of custody.

Any change in the principal residence of a child, including one not meeting the threshold distance set out in R.S. 9:355.2, may constitute a change of circumstances warranting a modification of custody.
