Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
child custody
I need to know my rights to Change of Venue, and Due Process. My ex-wife filed a protective order almost 4 years ago, and prevented my contact with my 2 minor children. I made repeated requests to the court for a hearing in hopes to exclude the children so as to re-establish visitation. My ex- wife has since died, and her former husband was granted temporary custody, and replaced as petitioner on the P O. I recieved no notification of the death, or other proceedings until after the fact. I am now working with an attorney that will not demand my DUE PROCESS be respected. I do not know what to do.

Re: child custody
There's a lot of information you don't disclose regarding the protective order. Depending on the basis for the protective order, and you are the paterinal father- you don't need a change of venue. You need to file for modification of custody. If you wish to discuss further, feel free to call or email our office.

There are not enough facts provided to discuss your due process rights or a change in venue.
