How Can a Father Obtain Child Custody in Louisiana?

Question by a40oz2freedom: How can a father obtain child custody in Louisiana?
My friend needs to get his daughter, who is 3, away from the mother. She abuses drugs and dates questionable men. He lives in another state for now because of work. He makes good money to support his daughter, but it requires him to move to another place 3-6 months out of the year. How would he go about proving that the mother is an unfit parent? Any reasons why he might not get custody?
