Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 9, § 409. Filiation judgment; notice

A. Before rendition of any filiation judgment, including a judgment of disavowal of paternity, contestation and establishment of paternity, filiation, or paternity, that includes an order to amend a birth certificate, the mover shall send a copy of the pleadings, if any, and the proposed judgment to the state registrar by United States mail or electronic means. If the state registrar is of the opinion that the proposed order to amend the birth certificate is not in conformity with law, he may object to the order on that basis, provided he does so within thirty days of receipt of the pleadings and proposed judgment, after which the court shall rule on the merits of the objection. In the absence of any objection by the state registrar, the court shall grant the order if the mover is so entitled.

B. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the state registrar from complying with a judgment ordering the amendment of a birth certificate when the order meets all legal requirements except the notification required by Subsection A of this Section.
