The Essential Elements of an Indiana Divorce

At Curlin & Clay Law, we understand that divorce is never a one-size-fits-all process. Every family is unique, and so are the legal and emotional concerns that come with ending a marriage. However, there are some elements of the divorce process and its requirements that apply to most couples, such as:

• Legal Requirements for Divorce in Indiana – In Indiana, where you file for divorce will depend on the county in which you or your spouse resides. Like most states, Indiana allows for a “no-fault” divorce process, in which spouses are not required to assign fault to one person for the marriage ending. Working with a knowledgeable attorney can help ensure your divorce filing is submitted properly and served to your spouse as required by law.
• Asset Division – During a divorce, spouses must determine how to divide the property, assets, and debts they have acquired during the marriage. Ensuring a fair and equitable division of marital property can be complex. Our team works diligently to safeguard your financial interests, whether in negotiating asset distribution, handling retirement accounts, or determining ownership of jointly held property.
• Child Custody and Support – If your marriage includes minor children, protecting their well-being is paramount. The division of parental responsibilities, including child custody arrangements and child support agreements, can be one of the most contentious parts of a divorce. We strive to craft legal solutions that prioritize your family’s needs while honoring your parental rights.

Comprehensive Legal Services

• Name Changes – During or after a divorce, our team can assist you in restoring your legal name prior to marriage on essential documents and records, helping you move forward into the next chapter of life. 
• Legal Separation – If divorce feels like too large a step, but you need legal clarity on matters like finances, custody, or property, our team can guide you through a legal separation agreement.
• Prenuptial/Postnuptial Agreements – Crafting a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement that sets clear expectations regarding the division of property or finances in the event of a divorce can provide valuable clarity for many couples. If disputes arise involving enforceable agreements signed before or during the marriage, we are equipped to protect your interests in accordance with the law.

Whatever your family law situation, our attorneys take the time to review every detail thoroughly, explain your options clearly, and develop legal strategies that align with your goals. You are never just another case file at Curlin & Clay Law – you are a valued client who deserves individualized attention and care.
