Indiana Court of Appeals
Wayne Patton v. Jessica Patton
17A04-1503-DR-137
Domestic relation. Affirms denial of father’s motion for modification of visitation, finding the trial court struck a balance that addresses the concerns of all, while still providing father with opportunities for more rewarding parenting time with W.P. immediately and in the future. Reverses portion denying his modification of child support, finding the emancipation of daughter Ja. P. was a substantial and continuing change to justify modification. Remands for modification of support obligation to become $136.42 per week.
Jason J. Maraman v. City of Carmel, Indiana
29A05-1504-OV-145
Ordinance violation. Reverses speeding ticket issued. Because the Carmel city ordinance under which Maraman was ticketed was void, the trial court should have granted his motion to dismiss.
Rex S. Lovett v. State of Indiana
20A04-1506-MI-591

Because Lovett was, at the time of and as a result of his original offense, subject to sex offender reporting requirements in another state, the ongoing requirement to register in Indiana is not an additional ex post facto punishment under the Indiana Constitution. Judge John Baker dissents.
