Child Custody in Indiana
In Indiana, it is much more common for both parents to have joint custody of children. With joint legal custody, both parents have equal opportunity to weigh in on important decisions in their children's lives, such as:
- Medical decisions
- Religious upbringing
- School choice
Children under the age of 18 are required to attend TransParenting, a program that assists children in coping with divorce. Mr. Gabhart is a certified facilitator for this program, and his wife is a marital divorce counselor. As a facilitator of this program and as an attorney, he has unique insight into handling child custody matters with compassion and understanding. He is entirely committed to helping your children get through divorce with as little disruption as possible.
Child Support
Child support is designed to allocate expenses for raising children, such as day care expenses, insurance costs and medical expenses. The process for calculating child support is straightforward, but also requires the skill of a knowledgeable attorney to paint an accurate financial picture. Additional resources may be necessary: for example, if the noncustodial parent has additional overnight credits and you need an attorney to make certain support calculations are correct. We will look out for your children's best interests at all times.
