Scott Trout Advocates For Shared Parenting In Indiana Lawyer

shared parenting

Cordell & Cordell Executive/Managing Partner, CEO Scott Trout was recently quoted in an article published by Indiana Lawyer detailing the efforts by Indiana lawmakers to pass legislation that would establish the presumption of shared parenting in the state.

Sen. Jon Ford, R-Terre-Haute, introduced a bill in the 2019 Indiana General Assembly that would change the Indiana child custody laws. Senate Bill 87 would add a rebuttal of presumption in child custody proceedings that joint physical custody and equal parenting time is in the best interests of the child.

Cordell and Cordell has long been an advocate for divorced parents. The firm’s attorneys work diligently to help parents stay involved and engaged in their children’s lives after divorce.

Mr. Trout, who is licensed in Missouri, Illinois, and Georgia, has fought for parents’ rights in court rooms.

If you are a parent facing divorce or any child custody issue, it is a good idea to get in touch with a divorce attorney who focuses on parents’ rights as quickly as possible. Cordell & Cordell’s emphasis on issues facing parents in divorce gives them an astute knowledge and understanding of the unique challenges parents are up against in family law.
