My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Indiana
We currently have a joint custody agreement which was agreed upon between the two of us (almost 5 years ago) and the Judge signed (no lawyers involved). In this agreement, we were to split everything (doctor bills, child care, etc) 50/50. This was also created when I was on a rotating shift so visitation was stated as such (father to get her the two weeks I was on 2nd shift). We created this while she was in day care, not in school.
Upon entering school, father was not keeping up his obligations such as paying 50/50 on school lunch, school clothes, etc. Also I now have her overnight every night but 4 nights a month.
Since he has not been contributing 50/50 of the responsibilities and not even doing homework with her on his evenings (3 hours a night-2 nights during week), I feel I should get full custody as I practically have it now, but without the financial resources to assist (child support or hardly any financial assistance).
How hard would it be to establish full custody after a joint was agreed upon? He basically would have the same visitation, just legally establish the responsibilities onto me and child support to adequately finance the responsibilities.
