Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
child custody
I have 4 children( 1 daughter that is 17 ) and 3 boys . The boys all want to live with me . The oldest one is 15 and told his mother he was moving in with me and she told him she would have me thrown in jail. She has a class D felony charge against her for beating our 11 yr. old child ;and her boyfriend is currently in jail for holding him down while she beat him. I was awarded all the children at the time that this happened , but she hired a high priced criminal attorney and it went through Judge Webster's court and he sent the kids back to live with her. Judge Webster and her family are all in the same church and interact with each other. I don't understand why a Judge would be able to preside over a case where he is persoally involved with the family.

Re: child custody
You needed to bring that up back then. However, you can file for a change of judge along with a Petition to Modify.
