Supportive Granger Custody And Parenting Time Attorneys Who Can Help
Are you interested in creating a parenting plan, resolving a child custody dispute or modifying an existing custody order? The family law attorneys at the Blanford Law Office can assist you.
Since 1990, the Blanford Law Office has limited its practice of law to the representation of persons in family-related legal matters. A full-time commitment is essential in order to provide knowledgeable and skilled representation in an area that is becoming increasingly complex.
Advocating For Parents In Granger And St. Joseph County
When Granger residents need a lawyer to handle their child custody and parenting time issues, they look for particular things:
- Experience: Family law attorneys who have strong backgrounds in child custody and parenting time-related litigation and mediation
- Vigorous representation: Family law professionals who are prepared, focused, knowledgeable and committed to advocating for parents and their children
- Candid, straightforward advice: An attorney who will have frank and honest conversations with them about their legal matter and the process, alternatives, consequences, benefits, the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly

In other words, Granger residents want family law professionals who know what they are doing, advocate for them and listen to them.
What Role Does Mediation Play In Custody Disputes In Granger?
Almost every judge in northern Indiana will require parents to participate in mediation in an attempt to avoid going to trial in a child custody or parenting time matter. And that’s a good thing. In mediation, a family law attorney from the Blanford Law Office can ensure your and your children’s interests are protected during mediation while also helping you fashion your own solutions to your family legal matter. While a Blanford Law Office attorney is well equipped to litigate your interests in a court of law, frankly, the best child custody or parenting time resolution is one you come up with – not one foisted on you by someone in a black robe.
Can My Child Choose Which Parent To Live With In Indiana Custody Cases?
A child does not have the final say in where they live. However, the court may consider the wishes of the child as one of several factors in a divorce or custody case. Judges typically give more weight to the preferences of children who are at least 14 years old.
