Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Is there a no shacking law in Indiana

My Wife seperated from me to be with another Man. Two weeks after I moved out, She moved in the other man. We have a daughter together, and I know nothing about this other man. Can I legally prevent this other man from moving in for my daughters behalf? Please, any help would be appreciated.

Re: Is there a no shacking law in Indiana

Unless you have some evidence of danger to the child or that this is harmful to the child in some substantive way, there's not a whole lot you can do about the matter. The courts are reluctant to weigh in on the morality of this issue. While I personally believe such an arrangement is not in the best interests of a child and believe I could make a reasonable case on that issue, the cost is prohibitive, plus you'd have to have a judge with a sympathetic ear. Additionally, you'd have to be able to survive an appeal, which might be tough to do.

Short answer to your question: Nope. No "anti-shaking" law in this state.
