Indiana Child Custody Response

Hi ****, could you please provide more details about your family law issue in Indiana? Are you dealing with matters related to divorce, child custody, child support, or something else? This will help me guide you better.

****, here is some general information about child custody laws in Indiana:
- **Types of Custody**: Indiana recognizes legal custody (decision-making) and physical custody (where the child lives).
- **Best Interests of the Child**: Courts prioritize the child's best interests, considering factors like the child's age, relationship with parents, and parents' ability to provide care.
- **Joint vs. Sole Custody**: Indiana courts prefer joint custody but will award sole custody if it's in the child's best interest.
- **Parenting Time**: Indiana has guidelines for parenting time to ensure the non-custodial parent maintains a relationship with the child.
Would you like information on how to file for custody or details on parenting time guidelines?

Dear [Judge's Name],
I am writing in response to the motion filed by the petitioner requesting a hair follicle test. I would like to bring to the court's attention the following points:
