(in) Childs Other Parent Charged With Child Molestation

Location: Indiana - My child's other parent (non custodial) was recently charged with multiple counts of child molesting by an adult over the age of 21, and is in jail with a large bond amount. This was shocking news, but actually not surprising when I think about how abusive he was towards me. I obtained the probable cause affidavit and learned that the alleged victim was a young child who was under his care at the time. Fortunately, he has not had private access to our child. After reading the PCA and noticing patterns in his behavior, I believe that he is guilty and predict that he'll be convicted of something related to this.

He has a history of violence and erratic behaviours related to alcoholism and unmet mental health needs. We have been in and out of court on this paternity case for the past few years, since I left him after our child's birth. He's had maybe 10 parenting times of about an hour or 2 each since I left and has always had restrictions on his parenting time despite everything he has filed with the court. He has requested changes of judge, me to be held in contempt, etc. to try to maintain control over us but the judges orders have been more aligned with what I requested.

I am the primary parent and caregiver for our child since birth and have legal custody. The current parenting time restrictions require alcohol monitoring and proof of sobriety prior to seeing our child, so he doesn't actually do his parenting time. They have never really established much of a relationship and our child doesn't ask or talk about him. I have been hesitant to go back to court for many reasons, but now wonder if I should ask for parenting time to be suspended? He has petitioned to stop accruing his balance on child support due to incarceration, so we have a court date coming up anyways. My fear is that if he somehow gets out, or doesn't get convicted that he would be allowed to have parenting time and that doesn't seem safe physically or emotionally. Also, could our child be required to visit him in jail/prison?

To me, this is the final straw and I want to get us as far away from him as possible but I am not sure what steps I need to take. In the past I wanted him to have the opportunity to be a safe dad so our child could have that relationship, but enough is enough and I actively don't think he should have any involvement. I'm not able to afford a lawyer right now and will be representing myself for the first time. What should I consider or are there any resources that might help me understand how to move forward? Generally, what are the requirements to suspend parenting time or even terminate parental relationship? If I do request a modification, should I do it now or wait until a decision is made on his charges? Any information is helpful. Thank you.
