Visitation or Parenting Time
The state of Indiana has adopted the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines with the Juvenile and Family Courts. Parents are allowed to request additional parenting time from the Court and are also encouraged to enter into their own Agreement.
A grandparent may petition the Court for visitation rights when the child’s parent is deceased, the marriage of the child’s parents has been dissolved, and in paternity actions when the Court finds that visitation rights are in the best interests of the child.
