Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
9 year old daughter to sleep in room with 13year old half brother
My daughter came home last night in
tears early from visitation with her
father. She said that he is moving her
uncle and his pregnant girlfriend into
the house. And She has to give up her
bedroom and move in with her older
brother because of this. This is scaring
me to death because her brother has
multiple problems for which he was
removed from public school and is now
being home schooled including manic
depression, suicide threats, cutting,
fighting and the list goes on...His room
is also filled with animal skins and wall
hangings of dead animals that are his
passion but scare her. What can i do to
protect her. Is it right (legal) to place
children so far apart in age and
developement and of opposite sexes in
the same room? This feels like a recipe
for disaster to me...Please help

You can and should petition the court for a change in custody if you are in a position to have your daughter live with you.
