Indiana Court of Appeals
Paternity: J.O’S. v. K.S.
25A-JP-761
Juvenile paternity. Reverses Hancock Circuit Court Judge R. Scott Sirk’s order awarding J.O’S. a restricted amount of parenting time with his child, with a path towards eventually receiving parenting time in accordance with the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines and also ordered the father to pay $941 per week in child support. Finds the juvenile court’s findings that could potentially support a finding of endangerment were largely unsupported by the record and the court’s order is therefore in contravention of statutory authority, which again requires specific findings of endangerment. Remand with instructions for the juvenile court to either enter an order containing sufficient findings to support a parenting-time restriction or that does not contain such restrictions and awards the father parenting time in accordance with the guidelines. Also finds that the juvenile court abused its discretion in setting the father’s child-support obligation at $941 per week. Remands with instructions that the juvenile court re-calculate the father’s child-support obligation based on the parties’ respective incomes at the time of the subsequent proceedings. Attorneys for appellant: Alexander Moseley, Adrian Deneen. No attorney listed for appellee.
