Divorce issues surrounding children, especially custody and support, can be some of the most combative elements of a divorce, but if spouses are able to work out their differences and come to an agreement, it is usually in the best interests of the children.
When Indiana courts decide who will get custody of a child, they take the following factors into account:
Indiana courts try to focus on which parent is more likely to provide the child with a stable environment, and which will be more likely to foster the child’s relationship with the other parent.
In Indiana, child support is based upon weekly gross income, including:
Public assistance is not considered income for the purposes of calculating weekly gross income for child support. Official online calculators help parents and officials determine how much each parent should pay to support a child, and the Indiana Child Support Bureau is also a valuable resource, as is the advice of an experienced child support attorney like Vanessa López Aguilera.
