I would like to sincerely thank Robert Langer and the entire staff at Langer & Langer for all they have done for our family. From the moment Robert learned about our daughter’s case, he personally called me that same night. As a mother, that means more to me than I can put into words. We still have a journey ahead of us, but I truly appreciate Robert Langer and his entire team for everything they have done and continue to do for our family. When you’re going through one of the hardest times of your life, having people who genuinely care makes such a difference…not only for you, but for your entire family. I thank Father God for placing Robert and his team along our path. And I know in my heart that my little girl would be proud to know that her mommy hasn’t stopped and will not stop seeking justice for her. 💚💚💚

I reached out after my ex-employer had a company vehicle hit my parked car and they didn’t want to pay for the damages. Robert within a week got me compensated for the damages and my lost wages!

I highly recommend Steve Langer, a two-time award-winning attorney of Langer and Langer Law. I consulted with him regarding a severe bedsores neglect case involving a beloved family member. He demonstrated compassionate care from the very first minute making me feel completely supported during a tough time. Even for a simple initial evaluation, he was exceptionally thorough and generously invested his valuable time free of charge to look into our situation. He is honest, highly efficient, and will not waste time or money. He is a wonderful person of the highest professional standards and unmatched integrity. LOOK NO FURTHER! P.S. I am truly honored to have met him and will definitely send referrals his way.

I reached out to Robert at Langer & Langer after being involved in an accident. From the beginning, he and his team have been incredibly responsive and always available to answer any questions—they either reply right away or follow up with a call very quickly. Any time documents or updates were sent, they made sure I had a chance to review everything and encouraged me to reach out with questions, which made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. They are extremely professional and honest, and at no point did I feel like just another case—I truly felt like they genuinely care about their clients. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing an attorney after an accident.

How to File for Divorce in Indiana

Issues to Address in an Indiana Divorce

The Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce in Indiana

An uncontested divorce can help Indiana couples dissolve their marriages more quickly and without many of the hiccups that arise during a contested divorce. Those who can reach an agreement on all aspects of the dissolution of their marriage, including but not limited to financial decisions, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, and property division, may reap the benefits of an uncontested divorce. These include:

What Are the Types of Divorce in Indiana?

Many people avoid filing for divorce because they dread the lengthy and traumatic conflict that is often portrayed on television, the expense of dueling it out in court, or the loss of control that can come with a judge’s decision. A courtroom battle is not the only way to end a marriage in Indiana, however.

Spouses who no longer wish to live together as a married couple have various legal options when it comes to ending their marriage. Our family law attorneys can help with different kinds of divorce cases:

 Uncontested Divorce

Couples whose divorces are uncontested worth with divorce lawyers, and sometimes mediators, outside of court to negotiate settlement.

 Contested Divorce

In a contested divorce, spouses who cannot agree on the terms of their dissolution, such as child custody or how property and debt should be divided, take their cases to trial and rely on the court to resolve their issues.

 Legal Separation

Although legal separation is not the same as divorce, the couple who decides to legally separate must request that the court rule on issues like child custody and spousal maintenance.

Indiana Divorce FAQs

No, you don’t have to hire an attorney to file for divorce in Indiana, but it’s highly recommended for more complex cases. You can represent yourself, and the state offers resources such as the Indiana Courts Self-Service Legal Center and Indiana Legal Help to guide you through the process. However, having an experienced divorce attorney can help protect your rights, ensure the process runs smoothly, and provide guidance if you have children, significant assets, or disagreements with your spouse over the terms of the divorce.

Yes, Indiana requires both state and county residency to file for divorce. At least one spouse must have lived in Indiana or be a military member stationed in the state for a minimum of six months before filing the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Additionally, one spouse must have been a resident of the county where the petition is filed for at least three months.

An Indiana divorce takes at least 60 days to finalize, as required by state law after the court receives the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. This waiting period applies even for uncontested divorces. If both parties agree on all terms, an uncontested divorce can often be finalized shortly after the 60-day period. Contested divorces or cases involving complex issues may take several months or longer, depending on the circumstances.

No, Indiana is not a 50/50 divorce state, but Indiana follows the principle of “equitable distribution,” meaning the court divides marital property fairly, though not necessarily equally. Factors like the length of the marriage, contributions of each spouse, and financial circumstances are considered.

Yes, the length of your marriage can influence the division of assets, spousal maintenance, and other financial arrangements. Longer marriages often result in more extensive asset division and considerations for support.

Divorce attorney fees vary depending on experience, the complexity of your case, and whether your divorce is contested or uncontested. Many Indiana divorce lawyers offer free consultations to discuss costs and payment options.

The 6% rule refers to Indiana’s standard calculation for spousal maintenance in some cases, based on a percentage of income. It is used as a guideline, but actual maintenance is determined based on multiple factors, including the length of marriage and financial needs.

A wife is entitled to a fair division of marital property, potential spousal maintenance, child custody or support (if applicable), and a resolution that considers her financial and personal contributions during the marriage.
