A: You have legal rights regarding your daughter. You need to speak with a family law attorney concerning Child Custody, Child Visitation, as well as Child Support as soon as possible in order to reach an agreement with her or to seek a Court Order defining your rights and responsibilities. The facts of each case make unique, however, you do have rights under Indiana law but you may need a court order to enforce those rights.
