Indiana is a no-fault divorce state. If your ex had an extramarital affair or caused a break in your marriage, this will have no bearing on how your marital assets will be distributed.

Even if you do not have many assets, negotiating property division can become highly complicated. We have a strong background handling high-asset divorces and divorces involving modest assets and debts. Based on our comprehensive experience, we are prepared to help you secure the property you are entitled to without causing emotions to escalate. Contact our Indianapolis law firm for an initial consultation.

What Does “Fair and Equal” Mean in Indiana Divorces?

Indiana is a community property state. The general rules of community property are that every marital asset and debt will be split 50-50 between the divorcing spouses, if no exceptions exist, such as:

  • Prenuptial agreement exceptions
  • Post-marital agreement exceptions
  • If one spouse wasted marital funds by gambling, abusing alcohol or drugs, or providing material support to a significant other outside of the marriage

At the López Law Office, in Indianapolis, we offer clients a calm and practical approach when negotiating a resolution in their best interests. We are also skilled family law mediators with experience helping clients find common ground when dealing with family law disputes. We will apply our comprehensive background when negotiating an amicable resolution with the opposing party.
