Mothers' Rights

Mothers’ Rights Lawyer Serving Zionsville

Representing Mothers in Indiana Custody Matters Since 2014

We represent mothers in the Zionsville area facing questions about child custody, parenting time, paternity, support, or protecting the parent-child relationship. Indiana law doesn’t favor mothers or fathers in custody decisions. Effective representation depends on detailed evidence tied to the child’s best interests, not assumptions about either parent’s role.

Founded in 2014, Law Offices of Eugene Mogilevsky approaches each case with careful preparation and practical legal planning. We examine caregiving history, schedules, communications, financial records, and other facts that may influence custody or support.

Call (317) 743-7958 to discuss your circumstances with our mothers’ rights attorney serving Zionsville.

How Indiana Courts Decide Custody

Indiana Code 31-17-2-8 directs courts to decide custody according to the best interest of the child, without presuming that either parent should receive custody. A mother’s caregiving history may matter, but the court weighs it alongside the family’s broader circumstances.

Best-interest factors can include:

The child’s age and sex.
The child’s relationships with each parent, siblings, and other significant people.
The child’s adjustment to home, school, and the community.
Each parent’s physical and mental health.
Evidence of domestic or family violence.
The child’s wishes, with additional consideration when the child is at least 14.

A court may appoint a guardian ad litem to investigate and advocate for the child’s best interests. The guardian ad litem may interview the parents, speak with the child, review records, and submit recommendations to the court.

Elements of Mother's Rights in Indiana

Mothers involved in Zionsville family law matters may need to address several areas that affect their parental and financial interests:

Child Custody: Indiana custody orders address legal decision-making authority and physical care of a child. Our team can help you understand the differences and advocate for your rights.
Child Support: Indiana calculates child support using an income-shares approach. We review the relevant financial information to help ensure the support calculation reflects the circumstances of both parents.
Parenting Time: A clear parenting-time arrangement can provide consistency for the child while preserving meaningful time with both parents.

Our Zionsville mothers' rights lawyer can help you understand your rights and legal options. Contact us to discuss your situation and learn more about your options.

Custody Rights After an Unmarried Birth

When parents aren’t married at the time of a child’s birth, Indiana law generally gives the mother sole legal custody until a court enters a different order. Establishing paternity identifies the child’s legal father and allows either parent to ask the court to address custody, parenting time, and child support.

A signed paternity affidavit establishes legal paternity and gives the father a legal basis to seek reasonable time under the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines. However, the affidavit isn’t a detailed custody order. Before signing, a mother should understand its legal effect and how future disputes may be handled.
