About visiting the probate court

About visiting the Hendricks County Superior Courts

The term probate court is a common term loosely referring to the probate division located within a state or county courthouse. In the state of Indiana, the Superior Court is the level of court responsible for overseeing matters related to probate court.

Hendricks County Superior Courts is listed as a registered probate court within Hendricks County, Indiana.

In most instances within Indiana, there is at least one Superior Court courthouse location within each county. Sometimes a county may have multiple courthouses and may also have multiple probate court locations. Such is often the case in larger metropolis counties where population is dense or also in spread-out, rural counties, which may use a courthouse annex or satellite office system to accommodate nearby citizens with easier access in proximity or distance.

Who to speak with when visiting the Hendricks County probate court

Upon visiting the Hendricks County Superior Courts, look for signs or directions to the probate division within the main courthouse. Once you’ve located the probate division, make your way to any reception desks and ask to speak with a probate clerk or probate judge. The probate clerk at Hendricks County Superior Courts may or may not require appointments based upon the busyness of the probate court, so it’s a great idea to call ahead.

Plan ahead to be early in case available parking is limited and be prepared for formal security measures upon entering the building, as courthouses are official state and federal property. This generally includes passing through metal detectors and allowing search of any belongings.

Many courthouses do not allow cell phones, so keep that in mind as your phone may need to be turned off upon entering the courthouse, or even left outside.

I am fighting for custody of my son. A judge told my ex during court that she couldn't have my son around her new fiancee who is now currently in jail on multiple felonies. Since my lawyer didn't have that included in our custody agreement the court is now refusing to charge her with failure to comply with a court order. Don't bother being a father. Don't bother searching for justice. There are none and justice is dead while she now takes her turn figuring out how to remove my son from me. While I spend another few months worrying if I'll even see him again alive next week until she takes my son from me. Good luck y'all.

It's pretty sad I am from there and you all are still pulling that you have to file this and that in order to rip off the public in cases that you won't even take disciplinary action on judges and lawyers and not even have simple forms there for pro se's too fill out no you want us the citizens to go and spend money on a lawyer don't even care if someone who is disabled or not expect money over one simple case that a stupid lawyer messed up how can you not step in and fix it what she messed up I don't think that's right to my son either since his dad never did signed off his rights lying and committing fraud about some's it up I still see the felony that is on my record is still there that the Harrington Law Firm told me that would change into a class A misdemeanor and it has not another lawyer that lies. The law on it has changed on that too as of this month as we speak I can get it took off too.
