Why Legal Guidance Matters

A family law case is more than paperwork. It sets the financial and parenting terms your family will live with for years. Skilled representation helps you avoid costly mistakes and protects your interests at every stage.

Core Family Law Issues

What Indiana Family Law Cases Decide

Most Indiana family law cases 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

Family Law Under Indiana Law

Indiana is a no-fault state, so a court does not ask why a marriage ended. Custody and parenting time decisions turn on the best interests of the child, and child support follows the Indiana Child Support Guidelines.

Before a dissolution is filed, 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, the one-pot property rules, and the paternity and modification standards that apply to unmarried parents.

We serve clients from our Westfield and Bloomington offices: Westfield, Bloomington, Indianapolis, Carmel, Noblesville, Zionsville, and Fishers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Indiana Family Law

We know you have questions. Here are the answers Indiana families most often need before they call.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. Unmarried parents can establish paternity, custody, parenting time, and child support through a paternity action, and existing orders can be modified when circumstances change.

We have offices in Westfield and Bloomington, and we represent clients in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana. Consultations are available in person, by phone, or by video.
