Indiana Court of Appeals
Adam Craig Thomas v. Amy Thomas (mem. dec.)
20A-DR-900
Domestic relations. Affirms and reverses in part the Allen Superior Court’s decree of dissolution for Adam and Amy Thomas. Finds the trial court did not err in awarding Amy sole legal custody. Also finds the trial court did not err in the division of marital property, except for considering Adam’s Dupont distributions as both income for purposes of determining his child support payments as set forth in its provisional order and later property for purposes of dividing the marital estate, and remands for reconsideration of distributions from Lithotripsy of Northern Indiana LLC. Finally, finds the trial court abused its discretion by allowing Amy to offset the entirety of the au pair costs but otherwise did not err in its rulings on child support. Remands for the trial court to reconsider the costs related only to child care while Amy works.

Vicky Melville Carvajal v. International Medical Group, Inc., and Sirius International Insurance Corporation (mem. dec.)
20A-MI-2321
Miscellaneous. Dismisses Vicky Carvajal’s interlocutory appeal following the denial of her motion to reconsider summary judgment order in her dispute with Sirius International Insurance Corporation and International Medical Group Inc. Finds Carvajal’s right to appeal has been forfeited by untimely filing and improper certification.

Donovan L. Wilson v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)
21A-CR-131
Criminal. Affirms Donovan Wilson’s conviction for Lvel 1 felony child molesting. Finds the victim’s interview contained sufficient indications of reliability and the Lake Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in admitting it into evidence.

21A-EX-219
Agency actions. Affirms the decision of the Review Board of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development to affirm an administrative law judge’s order denying M.D. unemployment benefits. Finds M.D. was provided sufficient notice of her right to counsel and that the ALJ’s order was supported by substantial evidence.
