How to Deal With an Unreliable Parent
In Indiana a child visitation schedule is made with the interest of the child as most important in the equation. Parent-child time is looked at as the right of the child, not the parent. When a visitation agreement cannot be maintained, it may need to be modified by the court. A parent who regularly prepares [...]

Child Support Gold-Diggers
Carey Roberts writes about paternity fraud, for example: “Consider the paternity scam. Here’s how it works: Find any dim-witted man to get you pregnant. Then look up the name of some unsuspecting Joe who’s got a steady job – it doesn’t matter that you never met the poor bloke. Put his name on the baby’s [...]
Challenges of the Adoption Process
Adoption can be very difficult for all parties involved. Of course everyone’s main interest should be the child, but there are times when things just don’t go the way you might think. For example, when a child is placed in a foster home what happens when the child gets attached? I know of woman who [...]
Marion County Indianapolis Elder Law Lawyer
For dependable advice and skilled representation on many family law and elder law issues, contact the Law Offices of Tony Zirkle at any of our four Indiana locations. We advise senior citizens and their families about problems as varied as nursing home negligence and protecting the access of grandparents to their grandchildren when a divorce or relationship breakup puts regular contact into question. We also advise clients about temporary guardianship of the grandchildren when the parents for whatever reason are unable to provide a safe and stable home.
Elder Law - An Overview
With the baby-boom generation advancing in age, America's senior citizens and their families increasingly encounter legal and practical concerns surrounding the care and support of elderly loved ones. An attorney experienced in elder law matters can assist clients in establishing guardianships and conservatorships to provide the day-to-day assistance many elders need to manage their financial and personal matters, preparing legal documents to allow senior citizens to predetermine medical and financial decisions during a period of incapacity, and providing for long-term medical care or nursing home residency through various funding sources. Additionally, experienced elder law attorneys can provide much-needed legal and emotional support to family members suddenly faced with the mounting pressure of caring for an elder loved one.
Guardianships and Conservatorships
When an elderly person reaches a time when, due to either old age or disability, he cannot sufficiently care for his personal, medical, and financial matters, considering guardianship or conservatorship may be wise. Guardianships and conservatorships are court-ordered legal relationships in which an appointed person or persons, called a guardian or conservator, attend to the personal or financial needs of another, called the ward or conservatee. In the context of elder law, a spouse or child is typically appointed as guardian or conservator vested with various powers as determined by the court. To determine whether a guardianship or conservatorship is appropriate in your situation, contact our experienced elder law attorneys immediately.
Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives
Some of the simplest planning tools are powers of attorney and health care directives. While the requirements for executing these documents vary from state to state, they are generally form-driven documents that enable you to predetermine financial and medical decisions in the event you suffer a period of incapacity, during which you are unable to communicate your wishes. Contact an experienced attorney immediately to protect your wishes through a power of attorney and health care directive.
Planning for Long-Term Care
Many Americans fear the financial strain rising nursing home and other long-term care costs will have on their life savings. With a forty percent chance that nursing home care will be needed after the age of 65, those fears are not unfounded. Proper planning and competent legal advice from an experienced elder law attorney, however, can alleviate many of those fears.
Help for Families of Elder Law Clients
With the onset of old age often comes symptoms of physical and mental disability. These disabilities often deprive people of the cognitive skills needed to make sound decisions and the physical abilities to care for themselves on a daily basis. Often times, elder law clients turn to their family to provide the day-to-day assistance they no longer can offer themselves. A skilled elder law attorney at our firm can offer the support you need to cope with these growing demands.
