McCordsville Child Custody Lawyer
A workable parenting plan must fit your child’s actual routine. School enrollment, weekday travels, park activities and local recreation programs can all affect how parenting time is divided. I work directly with parents to build practical arrangements that account for these day-to-day needs.
I am Laura M. Longstreet, a McCordsville child custody lawyer with Longstreet Law LLC. I serve parents throughout McCordsville, including families near Geist Reservoir, along the Mt. Comfort Road corridor and in the area’s residential communities. Before starting my own practice, I served as a guardian ad litem in Indiana courts. That experience shaped my child-centered approach to custody and parenting time cases.
Building A Parenting Time Schedule Around Your McCordsville Family’s Life
A good parenting schedule should fit your family’s daily routine. It needs to account for various factors, such as school pickup, practice schedules at Flat Fork Creek Park and local recreation programs. It should also consider the parents’ commute to Indianapolis during the week.
Indiana child custody generally involves two areas: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody covers major decisions about a child’s education, medical care and religious upbringing. Physical custody addresses where the child lives and how parents divide parenting time. Both parents may share either type of custody or the court may award primary custody to one parent based on the child’s needs and the court’s order.
I can review your family’s schedule and help create a parenting plan that works for your children and your daily life.
School District Relocation And Custody Modifications In Vernon Township
A move into or out of the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation district can affect school, transportation and parenting time. Under Indiana law, a parent must file and serve a notice of intent to relocate at least 30 days before relocating or within 14 days after learning of the planned move, whichever comes first.
The notice must provide details about the new home, planned move date, reason for the move and proposed changes to parenting time. A move may also lead to a request to change custody or parenting time. The court can consider the move, its impact on parenting time and other factors that affect the child.
