Divorce is known as dissolution of marriage in Indiana.
If you are looking into ending your marriage in Indiana, you will need to know the process and how to file for divorce.

Filing for Divorce

The issues in your divorce will determine which forms you need to file, but all Indiana divorces require that the following forms be filed:

• Petition for Dissolution of Marriage
• Summons
• Financial Declaration
• Child Support Obligation Worksheet (if minor children are involved)

Once you have completed the required forms, they must be filed with the clerk of courts office in the county in which you live. Each county has its own requirements regarding how many copies you will be required to file, but an Indiana rule mandates that you print any documents containing confidential information on light green paper. Indiana defines confidential information as:

• Social Security numbers
• Bank account numbers
• Tax records
• PIN numbers
• Medical records
• Child abuse records

Once your forms are filed in court, you must provide your spouse with a copy via service of process. Indiana allows you to serve your spouse via certified mail, private process server, or sheriff’s service.
