Indiana Custodial Rights Advocates is a civil rights organization advocating for the custody rights of children to have full access to and the involvement of both natural parents in their lives. Originally founded as an advocate for Non-Custodial Parents (NCP) we soon found there was a much greater need. Parents involved in CHiNS cases, CPS Termination of Parental Rights, Title 7 IEP plans and Adoption cases have all sought our help. Although our organization is dedicated to creating better bonds between children and their separated parents in Indiana we have expanded to satisfy these other needs. Much of the information provided here will be of use to all parents, everywhere. The links to the left will provide information and resources on many law issues and topics ranging from ADHD drugs to creating your own website. Our primary work involves lobbying Indiana's legislators to create more child friendly laws in the state. Learn more
