Child custody is often one of the most important and emotional parts of a family law case. Indiana courts focus on the best interests of the child when deciding custody and parenting time.

Custody cases may involve:

• Legal custody
• Physical custody
• Joint custody
• Sole custody
• Parenting time schedules
• Holiday and school break schedules
• Relocation issues
• Communication between parents
• Decision-making authority
• Emergency custody concerns
• Custody modifications

Whalin Legal helps parents present their concerns clearly and pursue custody arrangements that protect their children’s well-being.

Parenting time affects your relationship with your child and your ability to remain actively involved in their life. Whether you need a standard parenting time schedule, a customized arrangement, supervised parenting time, or enforcement of an existing order, our firm can help.

We assist with:

• Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines issues
• Parenting time disputes
• Denied visitation
• Holiday parenting time
• Summer parenting time
• Long-distance parenting plans
• Supervised parenting time
• Parenting time modifications
• Contempt actions for violations of court orders

When parenting time disputes arise, Whalin Legal works to protect your rights while keeping your child’s best interests at the center of the case.

Child support can have a major impact on both parents and children. Indiana child support is generally calculated using income, parenting time overnights, health insurance costs, childcare expenses, and other relevant factors.

Whalin Legal helps clients with:

• Establishing child support
• Calculating child support
• Modifying child support
• Enforcing unpaid child support
• Addressing income changes
• Health insurance and medical expense issues
• Childcare expense disputes
• College expense contributions
• Emancipation issues

Whether you are seeking support, paying support, or requesting a modification, our attorneys can help ensure the calculation is accurate and the order is fair.

When parents are not married, establishing paternity may be necessary to create legal rights and responsibilities. A paternity case can address custody, parenting time, child support, and decision-making authority.

Our firm represents mothers and fathers in paternity cases involving:

• Establishing legal paternity
• Genetic testing
• Custody orders
• Parenting time orders
• Child support
• Birth certificate issues
• Father’s rights
• Mother’s rights
• Modification of paternity orders

Whalin Legal helps parents protect their relationship with their child and create clear, enforceable court orders.

Family circumstances change. A court order that worked in the past may no longer fit your child’s needs, your work schedule, your income, or your living situation.

You may need a modification if there has been:

• A change in income
• A change in work schedule
• A child’s changing needs
• A parent’s relocation
• Concerns about safety or stability
• Repeated parenting time violations
• Changes in childcare or medical expenses
• A substantial change in circumstances

Whalin Legal helps clients request or oppose modifications of custody, parenting time, and child support orders.

Court orders must be followed. If the other party is refusing to comply with a divorce decree, custody order, parenting time order, or child support order, you may need to seek enforcement through the court.

We assist with enforcement issues involving:

• Denied parenting time
• Unpaid child support
• Failure to divide property
• Failure to pay debts
• Failure to follow custody orders
• Failure to comply with divorce agreements
• Contempt petitions

Our attorneys can help you understand your enforcement options and pursue compliance with existing court orders.

If you are dealing with domestic violence, threats, harassment, stalking, or safety concerns, legal protection may be available. Whalin Legal assists clients with protective order matters and related family law issues.

We help with:

• Filing protective orders
• Responding to protective orders
• Protective order hearings
• Custody and parenting time issues involving safety concerns
• No-contact order concerns
• Domestic violence-related family law matters

Your safety and your children’s safety matter. Our firm provides serious, focused representation in urgent family law situations.
