Ind. Decisions - Court of Appeals issues 0 today (and 4 NFP)
For publication opinions today (0):
NFP civil opinions today (1):
Connie Williamson v. Timothy Williamson (NFP) - "There has been a substantial change in circumstances that justify modifying custody in favor of Timothy, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion by granting Timothy’s petition to modify custody. The trial court abused its discretion by imputing to Connie a higher income than that supported by the evidence. The trial court did not err in its calculation of overnight visits to be attributed to Connie. We affirm with regard to the custody modification and attribution of overnight visits. We reverse and remand for the trial court to recalculate Connie’s support obligation based on the evidence of her income presented at the evidentiary hearing."
NFP criminal opinions today (3):
C.Q. v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Vincent L. Puckett v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Shanda K. Oliver v. State of Indiana (NFP) - See this post by Michael Ausbrook, who writes "The court unanimously reversed a marijuana misdemeanor conviction, because the trial court forced Ms. Oliver to go to trial without a lawyer. Or at least the trial court did not make sufficient inquiry into the matter. * * * I will say that were I the Deputy Attorney General on this case, I'd ask the court to publish the opinion. And I'm a little surprised the court didn't publish on its own. There aren't that many Indiana cases around on forcing defendants to trial without a lawyer."
