WHO WE HELP

Who We Help With Divorce in Indiana

Every divorce is different. We represent clients across a wide range of situations, always with the same goal: a stable, workable outcome.

  • Parents working out custody, parenting time, and child support
  • Spouses who need marital property and debts divided fairly
  • Clients facing high-net-worth divorces with complex assets
  • Business owners protecting a company or professional practice
  • Spouses seeking or responding to a request for spousal maintenance
  • Anyone who has been served with a petition for dissolution

Reaching an agreement is almost always more stable and less stressful than a judge-imposed decree. Our attorneys negotiate firmly, and litigate when your situation calls for it.

Why Legal Guidance Matters

Divorce is not simply a decision to end a marriage — it is a legal process with lasting financial and parenting consequences. Skilled representation helps you avoid costly mistakes and protects your interests at every stage.

Key Issues in a Divorce

What Gets Decided in an Indiana Divorce?

Most Indiana divorces come down to a handful of core issues. We help you resolve each one clearly and completely.

📋

Division of Marital Assets

Indiana follows a one-pot approach, dividing the assets and debts both spouses brought into and built during the marriage.

👨‍👩‍👧

Custody & Parenting Time

We help you build a custody and parenting time arrangement centered on your children’s best interests.

⚖️

Support & Maintenance

Child support follows Indiana’s guidelines, while spousal maintenance is limited and fact-specific. We advocate for a fair figure.

Indiana Law & Local Experience

Divorce Under Indiana Law

Indiana is a no-fault state, so the court does not ask why a marriage ended. A petition for dissolution needs only to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken and should be dissolved.

Before filing, at least one spouse must have lived in Indiana for six months and in the filing county for three months. Our attorneys handle those requirements and the one-pot property rules that follow.

We serve clients throughout Central Indiana: Westfield, Indianapolis, Carmel, Noblesville, Zionsville, and Fishers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Divorce in Indiana

We know you have questions. Here are answers to the concerns Indiana families most often bring to our office about divorce.

How long does a divorce take in Indiana?

Indiana requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after the petition is filed. Uncontested cases can conclude soon after that, while contested matters involving property or custody disputes often take several months or longer.

Do I have to prove fault to get divorced?

No. Indiana is a no-fault state. The petition only needs to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and the court will not inquire into the reasons behind the decision.

How is property divided in an Indiana divorce?

Indiana uses a one-pot approach, so assets and debts from before and during the marriage are all part of the marital estate. An equal division is the starting point, but that presumption can be rebutted.

Can my divorce be handled virtually?

Yes. We offer fully virtual services across all areas of family law, so you can get the legal help you need without extra time away from work or family.
