Child Custody

Once a divorce or a paternity case is filed with the court, the court will establish a custody arrangement for the minor children involved. If you want to change this arrangement, you will need to ask the court first. Look through our self-help forms, videos, and linked resources on Child Support in Indiana.

Representing yourself in court should not be taken lightly, and there are many reasons why hiring an attorney is a good idea. We suggest that even if you use the forms provided on this site that you still talk to an attorney before submitting the forms to a court to get the best result possible. Using the forms and legal information on this site does not make you a client of the Indiana Bar Foundation (Foundation) nor does the Foundation accept responsibility or liability for action taken by users of this information. Communication with Indiana Legal Help or the Foundation is not protected by attorney client privilege or the work product doctrine—that means information shared with Indiana Legal Help or the Foundation may be admissible in court.
