Our Indiana Family Law Services
• Divorce and Legal Separation:
Indiana is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove wrongdoing to file for divorce. However, property division, spousal maintenance, and custody can still be contentious. We guide you through every step, including:
• Division of Marital Property: Indiana law requires an equitable division of marital assets and debts (IC § 31-15-7-4). This doesn’t always mean a 50/50 split, but rather a fair distribution based on factors like each spouse’s contribution to the marriage and earning ability.
• Spousal Maintenance (Alimony): Indiana courts only grant spousal maintenance in limited circumstances, such as disability, a lack of earning capacity, or if one spouse needs education or training (IC § 31-15-7-2). We’ll advocate for a fair outcome.

• Child Custody and Parenting Time:
Indiana courts prioritize the best interests of the child when deciding custody and parenting time arrangements (IC § 31-17-2-8). Factors include the child’s age, emotional needs, the parents’ ability to provide care, and the child’s relationship with each parent.
• We craft parenting time plans in line with the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, tailored to your family’s unique circumstances.
• We handle disputes over legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical custody (where the child resides).
• We represent parents in relocation cases, ensuring compliance with Indiana law, which requires notice and court approval for moves that significantly affect parenting time (IC § 31-17-2.2).

• Child Support:
Indiana’s child support is calculated based on the Indiana Child Support Guidelines, which consider factors such as:
• Both parents’ gross incomes.
• The number of overnights each parent has with the child.
• Childcare, medical expenses, and other costs.
We ensure support orders are accurate and advocate for modifications when circumstances change (IC § 31-16-8-1).

• Modifications and Enforcement of Orders:
Life changes, and sometimes court orders need to be adjusted. Indiana law allows for modifications to custody, parenting time, or child support if there is a substantial change in circumstances (IC § 31-17-2-21). We help you petition the court to modify or enforce existing orders.
____________________________________
• Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements:
Protect your financial future by clearly defining property rights, spousal maintenance, and other issues before or during marriage. Indiana courts enforce prenuptial agreements as long as they’re fair and entered into voluntarily (IC § 31-11-3-8).

Common Questions About Indiana Family Law
• What does “best interests of the child” mean in Indiana custody cases?
Indiana courts consider factors such as the child’s age, the child’s relationship with each parent, the stability of each home, and the mental and physical health of all parties involved (IC § 31-17-2-8).
• What happens if my ex refuses to follow a custody or support order?
Indiana allows for enforcement through contempt proceedings, which may include penalties, wage garnishment, or other remedies (IC § 31-16-12-1).
• Can child support orders be modified?
Yes, if there is a substantial and continuing change in circumstances, such as a change in income, job loss, or increased child expenses (IC § 31-16-8-1).
