How long do you have to file contempt of court charges for non payment of child support in Louisiana?

You can file until the child is 18, or until they are 19 if they are still in high school full time. THE CHILD can file after that. You could also open a case with child support enforcement and let them do it. It's only $25 to do that. Either way, it takes a while. You probably shouldn't try this without an attorney and attorneys are expensive. That's why I suggested child support enforcement.

Not automatically but the courts will usually file an order for paternity and if it isn't done the court may then file contempt charges then you have a chance to be jailed for that contempt choose your battles wisely .
