Protecting and Enforcing Your Parenting Time
As a parent, you have the right to spend time with your children. However, that does not always mean your visitation rights will be granted without work. Some fathers have never seen their kids and need to file a visitation order to spend time with them. Other parents go through a contentious divorce and have a hard time agreeing on a visitation or custody arrangement.
Regardless of the story behind your visitation order, if you want to spend time with your children, it is important to work with a lawyer who will seek to protect your rights throughout the process. At the Law Offices of Melissa L. Kubeck, that is exactly what you can expect. Since 1996, we have been representing clients throughout Merrillville and northwest Indiana in all types of visitation matters.

Understanding Your Rights as a Father
Many fathers want to spend time with their children, but they are unsure what visitation rights they have. When we work with clients, we help them understand their rights and tell them what to expect from every step of the process. To give you the best information we can, we take the time to understand every element of your situation, including:
- When was the child born?
- Have you ever had visitation rights with your child?
- Do you already have a visitation order in place?
- Are you, or were you, married?
- Is the visitation order being filed in conjunction with a divorce, legal separation or a paternity action?
Child Visitation in Divorce, Post-Divorce and Paternity Matters
When we represent clients in visitation matters, one of our first objectives is determining the most appropriate timeline. If paternity needs to be established, we can get that process moving in most cases. If a visitation arrangement has already been scheduled, we look at what is preventing that arrangement from working, and we also look at whether or not your parenting scheduled is fair and equitable to you.
In Indiana, it is possible to get a great deal of visitation time. We help our parents pursue the parenting time they deserve. Schedule your initial consultation with an experience visitation attorney by contacting our firm online or by calling 219-791-1200.
