Jurisdiction of child custody proceeding in paternity proceeding
Sec. 13. (a) Subject to subsection (b), a court having jurisdiction
under IC 31-14 of a child custody proceeding in a paternity
proceeding has concurrent original jurisdiction with another juvenile
court for the purpose of modifying custody of a child who is under
the jurisdiction of the other juvenile court because:
(1) the child is the subject of a child in need of services
proceeding; or
(2) the child is the subject of a juvenile delinquency proceeding
that does not involve an act described under IC 31-37-1-2.
(b) Whenever the court having child custody jurisdiction under
IC 31-14 in a paternity proceeding modifies child custody as
provided by this section, the modification is effective only when the
juvenile court with jurisdiction over the child in need of services
proceeding or juvenile delinquency proceeding:
(1) enters an order approving the child custody modification; or
(2) terminates the child in need of services proceeding or the
juvenile delinquency proceeding.
As added by P.L.164-1999, SEC.3.
