Indianapolis, IN asked in Divorce, Family Law and Child Custody for Indiana

Q: My ex and I share joint legal & physical custody of our daughter. Whose address is her legal address?

Our divorce decree does not state whose address is her legal address. My address is used for health insurance as I carry it and her dad's address is used for school. She will be getting her license soon and we are not sure what address should be used.

A: You should consider modifying the decree to explicitly state the Child's formal address. This could continue to cause problems down the line.
