Divorce, Custody And All Family Matters

Our lawyers are well-versed in Indiana family law, and we are familiar with the local judges who will oversee your case. We can guide you through any family law issue, including:

  • Divorce or dissolution of marriage  We represent either spouse in the division of marital assets and debts, spousal maintenance (alimony), temporary orders for custody and support, and other issues. We can also help you draw up the papers for a dissolution (uncontested divorce).
  • Custody disputes We advocate for mothers and fathers in proceedings for child custody and parenting time (visitation), negotiation of parenting plans and tense conflicts such as parent relocation.
  • Paternity actions Unmarried parents have the same rights and obligations regarding custody, visitation and child support. We help dads stay involved in their child’s life, and we help moms secure the financial support and co-parenting help they need.
  • Adoption We help parents clear the way to grow their families through adoption, including agency or private adoption, stepparent adoption and grandparent/kinship adoption.
  • Prenuptial agreements A “prenup” protects any assets that spouses brought to the marriage in the unfortunate event that they later divorce. We make sure the agreement is fair and legally sound.
  • Guardianship actions We help people petition the court to take over the personal care and finances of a family member who no longer has the capacity to manage their own affairs.
  • Post-decree modifications Circumstances change. We can represent you in hearings to modify the custody order or child support order, or to enforce support orders or visitation rights.
