In general, the law does not modify child support based on other children living with the obligor.
In Louisiana, abandonment by a noncustodial parent is generally defined as the failure to provide for a child's emotional and financial support, as well as a lack of contact or communication with the child for a significant period. Specifically, if a noncustodial parent does not visit, communicate, or support the child for at least six months without just cause, it may be considered abandonment. Additionally, if the parent has expressed an intention to abandon the child or has not taken steps to maintain a relationship, this can also contribute to an abandonment claim. Legal proceedings may be required to formally establish abandonment in court.
