Indiana Court of Appeals
Joshua Blair v. Amber Fields (Blair)
No. 26A-DC-27

Appeal from the Johnson Superior Court, Judge Marla K. Clark. The Court affirms the trial court’s order that granted a petition to modify custody and parenting time, awarding primary physical custody to Amber Fields. The Court held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Joshua Blair’s motion for a continuance, finding it would not serve the best interests of the children. Additionally, the Court upheld the trial court’s reliance on the Guardian Ad Litem’s report and testimony, noting that there had been a substantial change in the children’s circumstances that supported the custody modification. Chief Judge Tavitas authored the opinion, with Judges Bradford and Felix concurring. Appellant’s attorney: Denise F. Hayden, Lacy Law Office, Indianapolis, Indiana. Appellee’s attorney: Michael R. Auger, Franklin, Indiana.
