Strong Advocacy for Parents – Including Fathers – in Paternity Cases

Both parents play an important role in a child’s life, and custody decisions should reflect that. In practice, however, fathers often need clear, effective advocacy to ensure their role is fully recognized.

At Schembs Law, we focus on presenting a complete, fact-based picture so the court can make informed decisions that truly serve the child’s best interests.

We represent both mothers and fathers, and we are committed to making sure each client is treated fairly. For fathers, this often means taking deliberate steps to secure meaningful parenting time and a voice in important decisions.

We advocate for parents in Indianapolis and across Indiana seeking fair custody and parenting time.

Paternity – Establishing Parental Rights

For unmarried parents, legal rights begin with establishing paternity. Until that step is complete, a father’s ability to seek custody or parenting time may be limited.

We guide clients through the paternity process efficiently and effectively. Once established, we work to put a parenting arrangement in place that reflects your role in your child’s life and protects your ability to stay involved.

Handling Contested Custody Issues

Custody disputes can involve serious and sometimes conflicting claims about parenting, safety, and the child’s well-being. These situations require a steady, fact-driven approach.

Our firm focuses on what can be proven and what matters to the court. We work to ensure our clients are heard, that allegations are properly addressed, and that decisions are based on reliable information – not assumptions.

Protecting Your Relationship With Your Child

Your relationship with your child is too important to leave to chance. Whether you are establishing rights, seeking more parenting time, or defending your current arrangement, we provide clear, practical guidance every step of the way.
