In the Matter of J.M. and K.M., Children in Need of Services, K.R. v. J.M., Sr., and Indiana Department of Child Services, and Kids’ Voice of Indiana
24A-JC-202
Juvenile CHINS. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s decision to modify the custody of two of K.R.’s children, J.M. and K.M, in lieu of adjudicating the children as children in need of services. Finds the order modifying custody of the children, rather than adjudicating them as CHINS, was supported by the record and reflects adherence to applicable law. Also finds to the extent the mother argues that modifying child custody deprived her of a meaningful opportunity to engage in services, this argument is better directed toward the Legislature, which has authorized modification in these scenarios.
