The "New" New Noblesville office

Given the expansion my firm has experienced in the past few months, in October 2010 the Noblesville office of Cordell & Cordell was opened in the Yeager building in downtown Noblesville.

On February 1 I was informed that I had been selected to staff the office on a full time basis (much to my delight).

Recently the firm has started interviewing for additional support staff and in
anticipation of signing that person up we have opened up
another office suite in the Yeager building which I have dubbed the "New" new Noblesville office. I gotta say I'm digging the industrial feel and the super short commute!

Attached for your viewing pleasure are pics of the "new" new Noblesville office.

Parenting Time Restriction, Reduction and Termination

Indiana recognizes that the right of a noncustodial parent to visit his or her children is a “precious privilege.” Duncan v. Duncan. Thus, although a court may modify a parenting time order when the modification would serve the best interests of the child or children, a parent’s visitation rights shall not be restricted unless the court finds that the parenting time might endanger the child’s physical health or significantly impair the child’s emotional development. Ind. Code § 31-17-4-2.

Even though the statute uses the word “might,” this Court has previously interpreted the language to mean that a court may not restrict parenting time unless that parenting time “would” endanger the child’s physical health or emotional development. See Stewart v. Stewart, 521 N.E.2d 956, 960 n.3 (Ind. Ct. App. 1988), trans. denied. A party who seeks to restrict a parent’s visitation rights bears the burden of presenting evidence justifying such a restriction. Farrell v. Littell, 790 N.E.2d 612, 616 (Ind. Ct. App. 2003).

On October 2, 2009 the Indiana Court of Appeals visited the issue of Restriction/Reduction/Termination of Parenting Time in a published opinion which found that a Hendricks County Judge had erred in terminating the appellant/father's parenting time with his children.

This case is blogged about by my colleague Ryan Cassman on his blog.
