 The Consent Judgment is Binding Unless Modified by Law:

• A Consent Judgment is a binding agreement between parties that has been approved by the court (La. C.C.P. Art. 1918). Dissolving it without meeting the required legal standard undermines its  

enforceability and stability.

Under Louisiana law, modification of a Consent Judgment requires the party seeking the change to prove two things:

1. There has been a material change in circumstances since the judgment was issued.

2. The proposed modification is in the best interest of the child (La. R.S. § 9:335; Evans v. Lungrin, 708 So. 2d 731 (La. 1998)).

• No evidence has been presented to show that there has been a material change in circumstances since the Consent Judgment was issued on April 15, 2024.

Meanwhile, my former attorney failed to inform me until after the ruling that she does not handle appeals—causing critical delays in challenging this decision. Adding to my concerns is my former attorney’s nonprofit organization, which claims to support domestic violence victims but raises serious ethical questions. While I paid over $20,000 in legal fees, and estimated appeal costs —most of my attorney fees went into her secretary’s personal account instead of her law firm’s account—my attorney began representing Gypsy Rose Blanchard in her divorce proceedings and allegedly managing all of Gypsy’s finances. My attorney even hosted Gypsy’s gender reveal party but failed to prioritize helping an innocent baby who is a domestic violence victim.

This case highlights systemic failures in family courts that endanger children and disregard their best interests. Louisiana law prohibits unsupervised custody when there are unresolved abuse allegations unless proper rehabilitation steps are taken—yet these safeguards were completely ignored in child’s case.

Immediate and irreparable harm:

1. Child’s stable environment will be disrupted after 526 consecutive days in Petitioner’s care.

2. Mother’s recent criminal history poses safety concerns for the child.

3. Abrupt change threatens child’s emotional well-being, with no transition period provided.

4. Serious allegations of potential abuse in mother’s family environment have not been fully investigated.

Due Process Violations: 

The custody transfer was enforced based on an oral ruling without notice or an opportunity for me to appeal, violating my constitutional rights under the Louisiana Constitution (Article I, Section 2) and the U.S. Constitution (Fourteenth Amendment).

Louisiana Revised Statutes § 9:341(B) states that if a parent has subjected a child or household member to sexual abuse—or willingly permitted it—they are only eligible for supervised visitation after completing a treatment program designed for sexual abusers. The court must also consider whether visitation would pose risks of physical, emotional, or psychological damage to the child. Louisiana Revised Statutes § 9:341(B) prohibits unsupervised visitation when there are unresolved allegations of sexual abuse until proper treatment programs are completed.

Louisiana Revised Statutes § 14:79 outlines penalties for violating protective orders and highlights the seriousness of such violations when they involve children.

Louisiana Revised Statutes § 9:341(B) specifically prohibits unsupervised visitation when there are unresolved allegations of sexual abuse until proper treatment programs are completed.

CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS:

Louisiana Civil Code Article 134 emphasizes that custody and visitation decisions must serve the child’s best interests by considering factors such as emotional ties between parent and child, stability of home environment, moral fitness of parents, history of abuse or neglect, and ability to meet the child’s needs.

Transitioning Treasure unnecessarily would violate the principles outlined in Louisiana Civil Code Article 134 regarding stability and continuity in a child’s life.

 Modifying custody or visitation requires proof of a material change in circumstances under Louisiana Revised Statutes § 9:341, which has not been demonstrated in this case. 

• Due Process rights under 14th Amendment
• Louisiana Constitution Art. 1 § 2
• Right to be heard before custody modification

 La. C.C. Art.
131: Best Interest of Child

• Disrupts stable custody arrangement established by Consent Judgment

• Ignores mother’s documented criminal history and incarceration

• Disregards established care patterns with Petitioner

Louisiana Civil Code Article 134 (Best Interest of the Child Factors): The court failed to adequately consider critical factors such as stability, moral fitness, and the history of violence when determining custody.

La. C.C. Art. 134: Mandatory Factors

• Moral fitness of parties (Art. 134(7))

• Stability of child’s environment 

(Art. 134(5))

• Existing relationships between child and parties (Art. 134(1))

Louisiana Civil Code Article 134(2) prioritizes emotional ties when determining custody arrangements.

La. C.C.P. Art. 3945: Emergency Modification Requirements

• No showing of immediate harm under current arrangement

• No evidence supporting modification

• Disregard of valid Consent Judgment

Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Article 1911: Custody was transferred before the judgment was signed, violating the requirement that no judgment shall have effect until it is signed by the judge.

 Louisiana Revised Statutes §46:2136 (Protective Orders): Eight protective orders were issued for my safety and Treasure’s protection. The court ignored these active orders when transferring custody, undermining their purpose of preventing harm.

 Louisiana Revised Statutes §9:364 (Custody and Family Violence): Custody was awarded to a parent with a documented history of domestic violence without requiring proof of rehabilitation through a court-approved treatment program, as mandated by law.

 Louisiana Civil Code Article 133 (Custody Awarded to Non-Parents): The court disregarded prior findings of substantial harm that justified non-parent custody without evidence of material improvement in circumstances.

 Louisiana Children’s Code Article 601: The health, welfare, and safety of the child must be the paramount concern in all proceedings. The abrupt custody transfer without a transition plan has caused psychological harm to Treasure, violating this principle.

 Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Article 3943, an appeal from a judgment awarding, modifying, or denying custody does not suspend execution of the judgment. This means that while my appeal is pending, this court retains jurisdiction to enforce and oversee custody matters related to the child. 

 Continuing Jurisdiction Under UCCJEA:

Louisiana courts retain continuing jurisdiction over child custody matters under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA). Since this court issued the original custody determination consistent with UCCJEA provisions, it retains authority over all related matters unless there is a compelling reason to transfer jurisdiction or the child is no longer domiciled in Louisiana.

Louisiana Revised Statutes § 13:1813 establishes that Louisiana courts have exclusive jurisdiction as the “home state” of Treasure Dior Moore for custody determinations. Treasure’s domicile and physical presence in Louisiana confirm that this court has authority over this hearing.

Even though an appeal has been filed, Louisiana law allows courts to issue temporary orders related to custody or visitation to address immediate concerns about the child’s welfare under La. R.S. § 13:1816. This ensures that the child's best interests are protected while the appeal is pending.
