Indiana Divorce and Family Law
Divorce is essentially the breakup of the family unit, and as such can be a very trying experience for everyone involved in the divorce. As you would expect at a time like this, most people do not want to deal with the hassle of the legal processes in getting a divorce. At The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle, we understand how difficult and emotionally taxing a divorce can be on your life, and our experienced Lake County attorneys will do everything in their power to make certain that your stress is minimized.
In most Indiana cases, the court distributes property between the parties equally. If a party wishes for the property to be distributed in a different manner, the party will have to overcome a presumption that an equal division of the marital property between the parties is just and reasonable. IC 31-15-7-5 To overcome this presumption, a party must present evidence of the party´s contribution in the acquisition of the property, of the way in which the property was acquired, or that the economic circumstances of both parties warrants distribution of such property to a particular party.
In other cases, the couple getting divorced has an agreement for how the property will be distributed. In such instances, the court will look to the provisions of the agreement made by the parties to govern the manner in which property will be distributed. Most commonly referred to as prenuptial agreements, these agreements can set out the terms by which property is to be distributed between the parties, but must still be approved by the court before the terms are made final.
