Schweller will succeed Magistrate Daniel Pappas who is retiring from the Family Relations Division in October after serving the Allen County Superior Court since 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Family Relations Division Judge Brent Ecenbarger stated, \u201cAndrew\u2019s extensive legal experience, particularly his many years working with the Child Support Division, will serve the Court and the families of Allen County extremely well.  Just as importantly, he has developed excellent relationships with the attorneys in our community and has earned their respect. His experience, professionalism and ability to work effectively with everyone involved in the court system make him an excellent fit for this position. We are very pleased to welcome him to the Family Relations Division.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Schweller brings nearly three decades of legal experience to the position, including more than 25 years with the Allen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office. Schweller began a legal career in 1997 in the Prosecutor\u2019s Office Child Support Division before moving to the misdemeanor division in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>After spending two years in private practice, primarily handling family law matters, Schweller returned to the Prosecutor\u2019s Office in 2001 and was assigned to the felony division.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Andrew Schweller became Section Chief of the Child Support Division, overseeing a team of more than 35 employees. The division is responsible for establishing paternity and support orders and collecting child support, with a current caseload of more than 15,500 cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am honored to be selected as the next Magistrate in Allen County Superior Court Family Relations Division,\u201d Andrew Schweller said. \u201cI look forward to joining and working with a great team of people at the Allen County Juvenile Center and to continue to serve the citizens of Allen County.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Schweller is a native of Ohio and graduated cum laude from Miami University in 1994 with degrees in history and political science. Schweller earned a law degree from the University of Dayton School of Law in 1997 and was admitted to the Indiana Bar in October of that year.  Schweller met his wife Julie while attending Miami University, and the couple married in 1997. They are the proud parents of three sons.<\/p>\n<p>Schweller will take the bench on November 2, 2026.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133099.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller filing a complaint at the Allen County Superior Court on May 27, 2010.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='556604c5ad9b0c6ea8fea452276c5eb0' data-image-id=\"5353\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133099.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133099.jpg\" data-title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller\" data-description=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller filing a complaint at the Allen County Superior Court on May 27, 2010.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"5353\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133099.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133101.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Allen County Clerk of Courts Therese Brown on May 27, 2010.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='556604c5ad9b0c6ea8fea452276c5eb0' data-image-id=\"5354\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/133101.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133101.jpg\" data-title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Therese Brown\" data-description=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Allen County Clerk of Courts Therese Brown on May 27, 2010.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Therese Brown\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Therese Brown\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"5354\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/thumbs\/thumbs_133101.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/fort-wayne-people\/michael_douglass.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Michael T.
