Hi. I no longer live in Indiana but my ex does and is trying to get custody of our kids. Our divorce was final in Columbus so Indiana has jurisdiction and I need to find a good lawyer. Can someone please give me some names of good lawyers. Thanks

Law Office of Benjamin Loheide, lawyers in Columbus, IN, Indiana

Jewell, Crump & Angermeier, lawyers in Columbus, IN, Indiana

You could try these firms ... I don't know anything about them as we just moved to Columbus, but it's a start.

Talk to an attorney where you are currently living. Regardless of where your divorce was, jurisdiction in custody matters is usually wherever the children live. Even if your divorce decree says that the Columbus courts retain jurisdiction, it can be transferred based on the residency of the children. Basically, get thee to an attorney where you are now, and let your attorney help you decide the best course of action.

Jurisdiction in custody lies with the court that initially determined custody. You have to file with that court to get it modified, and subsequently fight the modification in that court.

You should definitely get someone in Indiana who knows our laws, as they differ from state to state. Don't waste your money with someone from out of state, unless they can give you a free consultation and perhaps recommend a firm in Columbus.

Good luck

I guess I shouldn't have wasted all that money on law school. So sorry for chiming in on this, I sure hope everything works out well for you, OP.

Signing out and off.

I only wasted my money on a paralegal degree, but I agree with degal, jurisdiction will be assumed by the Court where the children are living if you just file something there. Hire an attorney in your county and state. If anything needs to be filed here in order to fight Indiana jurisdiction, your attorney there can do that.
