yes she can * The state does have existing laws that forbid cohabitation of non married individuals. Therefore the non custodial parent could file a complaint with social services or preferably with the court that issued the custodial order. The state does not recognize common law marriages with the exception of the city of New Orleans which allow domestic partners to live together without benefit of marriage. The non custodial parent should present evidence as to why the living arrangements of the custodial parent present an unsuitable environment for the minor child/children before social services will become involved. This applies also if the non custodial parent chooses to bring the matter before the court, which would be the best option if he or she wishes to have the situation addressed.

This parent can make all decisions without seeking in put from the other parent.
It indicates that one parent has the child or children less time than the primary custodial parent. For example the children may reside with the mother the majority of time, and have visitation with the father on weekends, holidays, etc. The parent with primary custody is the one who has specified rights to make decisions such as schooling, medical care and so forth.

If the mother had primary residential, than the grandmother has a right to the children, but this not not preclude access rights. This is why this needs to be addressed in the custody decree.
