Ind. Code § 31-17-4-2 (2026).
Text
The court may modify an order granting or
denying parenting time rights whenever modification would serve the
best interests of the child. However, the court shall not restrict a
parent's parenting time rights unless the court finds that the parenting
time might endanger the child's physical health or significantly impair
the child's emotional development.
