Marion County Indianapolis Child Custody attorneys
In today's world, many parents agree about the custody, child support, and visitation issues. In Indiana, both sole custody and joint custody arrangements are granted, with joint custody arrangements being increasingly common. In a joint custody arrangement, both parents have the right to make decisions concerning their children's lives including education, religion and medical treatment. However, if the parents are in disagreement about custody of their children, a judge will decide these issues for the parents.

The court may decide who gets physical custody, or where the children will live primarily. The other parent is granted parenting time. If the court makes the custody decision, many factors are taken into consideration including the best interests of the minor children, relationship(s) between the parent(s) and children, special needs of the children or parents, educational and medical needs of the children, ability of the parents to provide for the children, the children's primary residence before the divorce, lifestyles of the parents, distance of the homes from the schools, domestic violence, mental stability of the parents, and preference of the children. Many factors are considered by the court when deciding upon the custody arrangement.
Indiana has child support guidelines and calculations like other states. The Indiana Child Support Guidelines, and the Indiana Child Support Chart include formulas based on the income of the parents, health insurance costs, daycare costs and other factors that are used to determine the amount of child support to be paid. Interested parties can also find Indiana child custody information through websites like Divorcenet and SupportGuidelines.com.

Child Support
Information from multiple sources shows that only 10% of all noncustodial fathers fit the “deadbeat dad” category: 90% of the fathers with joint custody paid the support due. Fathers with visitation rights pay 79.1%; and 44.5% of those with NO visitation rights still financially support their children. (Source: Census Bureau report. Series P-23, No. 173). [...]
