Brazil, IN asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Indiana

Q: My son is ordered to complete 95% of his parenting time with his 15 month son before he is able to have ANY OVERNIGHTS?

So my question is how do they? Or when does my son know when that 95% of his parenting time is complete?

A: Based on your question and without reading the visitation/parenting time order, usually in my experience most parents are supposed to have paid 95% of their child support in order to claim the child on taxes, then according to the guideline it should be consistent parenting time for 6 to 9 months prior to the non-custodial parent receives overnights, of course this all depends on the age of the child as to how many overnights you receive.
