Child Custody in Indiana

We explain child custody laws to you and work to place you in a favorable position to calm your uncertainties and achieve your goals. Child custody consists of two areas:

  • Physical custody: Typically, the court will award physical custody to one parent. Your child will live in that household and parenting time (visitation) will be awarded to the other parent. The parent with physical custody is generally awarded child support as well.
  • Legal custody: Legal custody involves making important upbringing decisions, such as decisions involving schooling, healthcare, and religion. If parents are able to set aside differences to make decisions involving the child, joint legal custody is an option.

As experienced child custody lawyers, we understand the child custody laws in the state of Indiana and how judges interpret them. We use our experience to present your arguments in a manner that reflects how your custodial goals will further the best interests of your child and your family.
