I do not want my 10 year old daughter around him anymore. he has 1 conviction of class d felony. since we have joint custody is there any way I can prevent my daughter from being around him? we are in Indiana.

Hire an attorney and file a motion to modify custody. Ask for an order keeping the child away from this man during mother's parenting time.
