Domestic Violence Charges in Indiana Family Law Cases

Being accused of domestic violence in Indiana can immediately affect your divorce, child custody, and parenting time rights. Courts take these allegations seriously, and even before a case is resolved, they can impact where you live, your access to your children, and the outcome of your family law case.

Schembs Law represents individuals charged with domestic violence when those allegations intersect with ongoing or anticipated family law matters.

What Counts as Domestic Violence in Indiana

Under Indiana law, domestic violence allegations may involve:

  • Physical harm or attempted harm
  • Threats of violence
  • Harassment or stalking
  • Allegations involving a spouse, partner, or family member

These accusations often lead to parallel court proceedings that must be handled carefully.

Impact on Divorce and Custody

Domestic violence allegations can significantly influence:

  • Child custody and legal decision-making
  • Parenting time (including supervised visitation)
  • Possession of the marital home

Indiana courts prioritize the best interests of the child, and allegations alone can shape temporary and final orders.

Coordinating Criminal and Family Law Defense

Domestic violence cases often involve both criminal charges and family court proceedings. What you say or do in one case can directly affect the other.

We focus on:

  • Protecting your parental rights during DV-related custody disputes
  • Coordinating strategy between criminal defense and family law
  • Minimizing long-term consequences on your record and family relationships
