We are seeking to file for visitation (there are no current court orders on file) for SD, at the very least. We can't really afford to hire an attorney, so we were wondering if there is anyone on here that is familiar with the custody/visitation process in Indiana. Here are our questions so far...

What forms need to be filed to set things in motion?

Where can you get the needed forms?

What do the courts look at when deciding for/against visitation?

How long does this process typically take?

What measures can we take against BM, when we suspect she will lie to the courts to prevent visitation?

How much does your history affect the courts decision?

We are from out of state...is the process different for us to file for visitation?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give!!!!
