Merrillville Child Custody Attorneys
Marital property is all property accumulated during the marriage, even property that is only in one spouse's name such as an investment portfolio and other assets, or even a portion of a family-owned business.
Indiana law operates on the presumption that marital property will be divided 50-50 in a divorce, even in a high net worth divorce. However, under certain circumstances the judge may deviate from this presumption. Such is the case where one spouse has a disability or where substantial income disparity exists. Indiana is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that property division is not affected by the actions of one spouse toward the other.
Under Indiana law, an order to pay alimony (spousal support) is issued only in extremely limited circumstances such as the disability of one spouse. Even under these circumstances, the court will usually only grant spousal support for three years or less.
Consideration of child visitation and child support are also of crucial importance in reaching an equitable divorce settlement. With more than 85 years of combined legal experience, you can rest assured that we will aggressively advocate for a fair and equitable divorce settlement that takes these important issues into account.
Our Schererville divorce attorneys can also assist with post-divorce modifications of agreements reached during the divorce settlement, when circumstances change.
