Divorce

Every divorce proceeding is unique. Also known as Dissolution of Marriage, the laws regarding divorce are different for each State. In the State of Indiana, to file for divorce, you must live in the State for six months prior to filing for divorce. The divorce is filed in the county where you live and you must be a resident of that county for three months prior to filing.

Some cases are straightforward uncomplicated divorces requiring the attorney to meet with you; establish custody, child support and visitation arrangements if there are minor children involved; and discuss division of property. Next the attorney files the petition for Dissolution of Marriage and other required documents with the appropriate court, and, when the divorce is final, notifies you and your former spouse. 

Other cases may be more complex, involving disputes regarding custody of minor children, child support, visitation schedules, and division of property; evaluation of assets; debt management, and more. Sometimes, a simple divorce turns into a lengthy proceeding when one or both parties fail to reach agreement.
