Indiana court lifts hearing ban over unpaid $21,020 fees, upholds award
An Indiana appeals court has declared that a custody case cannot be stalled due to unpaid legal fees. Initially, the trial judge had suspended hearings until the mother paid her attorney $21,020, but this ruling was overturned. The ongoing custody matter, dating back to 2021, included disagreements over child support and custody dynamics. The father was awarded sole custody after the mother was found in indirect contempt.
