No-fault divorce in Indiana

Indiana is a "no-fault" state, meaning that you do not have to accuse another party of wrongdoing or breach of marital contract to sue for divorce. This can be beneficial, in that, it allows couples to proceed with a divorce without creating hostile relationship or damaging a reputation on the public record. Our attorneys will help you make appropriate decisions and file for divorce when you are ready.

Spousal support and alimony

Indiana is not an alimony state. While the law makes a provision for maintenance when a spouse is mentally or physically impaired or unable to work, it can be difficult to obtain. We will assess your case to determine whether you are eligible for maintenance or possibly obliged to pay after a divorce.

Contested divorce

Contested divorce cases can be the most difficult, and often result in trial. Our attorneys know that resolving any divorce out of court will save you time and resources. We work with our clients to come to a negotiated agreement without involving the courts. Our primary objective is to help both parties see the big picture and develop lasting and mutually agreeable solutions.

Property division

Indiana is an equitable distribution state, meaning that there will be a presumptive 50-50 split of assets. It is important to consult with an attorney regarding complex disputes, because the 50-50 is rebuttable and you may either collect more or be forced to defend yourself if a spouse seeks to collect more than 50%. We are experienced with complex property division cases involving closely held businesses, professional practices, family trusts, investment income, retirement accounts, and the family residence.
