Legal Services in Family Law and Divorce

Divorce and Property Division

Comprehensive representation in all aspects of divorce and dissolution, from the initial filing to the final decree. Services include temporary orders, discovery, negotiation, and trial when necessary. Marital assets such as real estate, pensions, retirement accounts, and other property are carefully identified, valued, and divided in accordance with Indiana law. Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) are drafted and implemented to ensure that retirement plans are divided correctly.

Custody and Parenting Time

Representation includes both legal and physical custody arrangements that reflect the child’s best interests. Parenting time schedules, relocation issues, and contested custody cases are addressed with thorough preparation and focused advocacy. Modifications are pursued when circumstances materially change, and court orders are enforced when compliance becomes an issue.

Child Support and Financial Issues

Child support is calculated in accordance with Indiana’s guidelines, with adjustments sought when income or needs change. Representation includes enforcement of existing orders, prosecution or defense of child support modifications, and careful attention to permitted deviations from standard calculations.

Paternity and Related Actions

Establishing paternity provides the foundation for custody, parenting time, and child support orders. Representation includes initiating or responding to paternity actions, securing genetic testing when appropriate, and ensuring that legal rights and obligations of parents are clearly defined and enforced.

Guardianship of Minors and Adults

Legal guidance through the process of establishing guardianships for children and incapacitated adults. Services include preparing and filing petitions, presenting evidence of necessity, and ensuring compliance with ongoing reporting requirements. Guardianship proceedings safeguard the rights and well-being of vulnerable individuals by providing clear legal direction and strong advocacy.

High-Asset Divorce / Complex Property Division

Representation in complex divorce cases involving significant assets, business interests, professional practices, investment portfolios, and multiple real estate holdings. These matters require coordination with valuation experts, forensic accountants, and financial professionals to ensure that assets are properly identified, valued, and divided in accordance with Indiana law. The focus is on protecting financial security through careful negotiation and, when necessary, aggressive litigation.

Estate Planning Tied to Divorce

Divorce often requires substantial updates to estate planning documents. Assistance is available to revise wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations to reflect new circumstances after dissolution of marriage. Proper coordination of estate planning with divorce proceedings protects assets, honors intentions, and provides clarity for family members moving forward.

Post-Decree Litigation

Legal representation continues after the final divorce decree through modifications and enforcement of existing orders regarding custody, parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance, and property division. When life circumstances change or compliance issues arise, post-decree litigation ensures that court orders are modified or enforced as needed through negotiation, mediation, or courtroom advocacy.
