Divorce and Family Law in Indiana
Indiana is a no-fault divorce state which means that a divorce does not require proof of wrongdoing by the other spouse. Grounds for divorce in Terre Haute can simply be that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Once divorce proceedings are filed, the Court must wait at least 60 days before finalizing the divorce. Divorce proceedings may take much longer depending on whether children are involved, the interest of the parties in a quick resolution, the amount of assets involved, and the complexity of other issues. At Reddy Law Firm, we understand how stressful a divorce can be and are prepared to provide aggressive representation while being supportive and sensitive to your situation. We strive to provide the best outcome not only for you, but for your family.
Child Custody
Issues involving child custody, child support and visitation are typically decided either by the Court or by the parents as part of the divorce settlement agreement. Child custody is determined based upon what is in the best interest of the child and includes an analysis of several factors. There are several types of child custody arrangements depending upon the client’s unique situation.
Child Support
A divorce agreement should provide for adequate child support in order to meet a child’s financial needs. In Indiana, child support is determined based upon the child support guidelines which factors the income, expenses, and debts of both parents.
Pre-Nuptial/Post-Nuptial Agreements
Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial agreements have several purposes such as ensuring that assets are distributed according to the client’s wishes, protecting assets from a spouse, protecting the interest of children from a previous marriage, identifying assets acquired before and during a marriage, and hopefully, avoid litigation over the division of assets in the event that a divorce occurs.
