Understanding Child Custody In Indiana

Divorce and separation involve major life changes for everyone involved. One of the most difficult aspects of divorce is determining how your children’s day-to-day lives will look going forward. There are two major aspects of child custody:

  • Legal custody refers to the parents’ authority to make decisions on behalf of the child.
  • Physical custody refers to where the children will live.

Indiana law recognizes that the children’s best interests are paramount. This standard governs both custody modifications and initial determinations. Yet how do you decide what arrangement is in their best interests? The law provides guidelines, but ultimately the decision is made on a case-by-case basis. As a result, it is important to consult with a lawyer about the specifics of your situation.
