(a) This section applies if a court finds that a
noncustodial parent has been convicted of a crime involving domestic
or family violence that was witnessed or heard by the noncustodial
parent's child.
(b) There is created a rebuttable presumption that the court shall
order that the noncustodial parent's parenting time with the child must
be supervised:
(1) for at least one (1) year and not more than two (2) years
immediately following the crime involving domestic or family
violence; or
(2) until the child becomes emancipated;
whichever occurs first.
(c) As a condition of granting the noncustodial parent unsupervised
parenting time, the court may require the noncustodial parent to
complete a batterer's intervention program certified by the Indiana
coalition against domestic violence.
