Our Legal Services for Matters Involving Children

We provide legal counsel across all areas of family law concerning children, ensuring your rights and your child’s well-being are always the priority.

• Child Custody and Custody for Unmarried Parents: We help parents establish fair and practical custody arrangements that foster a healthy co-parenting relationship and serve the child’s best interests, whether the parents are divorcing or were never married.
• Child Custody Modification: Life changes, and so do custody arrangements. We assist clients in modifying existing custody orders when a significant change in circumstances makes the current setup no longer suitable.
• Child Support: Our team helps with calculating and enforcing child support orders fairly according to Indiana law, providing for your child’s financial needs.
• Paternity Actions: We guide fathers through the legal process of establishing paternity, which is the essential first step for a father to secure parental rights and for a child to receive support.
• Fathers’ Rights & Grandparents’ Rights: We advocate for fathers seeking to play an active role in their children’s lives and for grandparents wishing to maintain their cherished relationships with their grandchildren.
• Relocation: Moving can create custody challenges. We represent both relocating parents and those opposing a move, focusing on preserving the parent-child relationship.
• Stepparent Adoptions: We celebrate the growth of blended families by guiding stepparents through the rewarding legal process of adopting their stepchild, solidifying a lifelong family bond.
• Child Protective Services (CPS) and Child in Need of Services (CHINS): Facing involvement from CPS can be intimidating. We provide a strong defense, protecting parents’ rights and working to keep families together.
• Guardian Ad Litem: In some custody disputes, our attorneys can serve as a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) to investigate and represent the child’s best interests to the court.
• Consent to Treat Minors: We can assist caregivers in obtaining the legal authority needed to make crucial medical decisions for a minor in their care.
