Divorce Settlement Agreement Template - Indiana

How to File for Divorce in Indiana?

Here is how you can formalize a separation with your spouse in the state of Indiana:

1. If you have children, you need to define the terms of child support and withhold income for the employer of the parent that will not have primary custody . Otherwise, it will be enough to prepare a petition to dissolve the marriage and draft a divorce agreement. You need to list the conditions of the child support and spousal support and certify which assets will belong to either spouse.
2. Submit the documentation with the county court where at least one of the spouses resides for three months and send the papers to the other spouse or their attorney - it is recommended to do it via certified mail or with the help of a professional process server. Once this is done, the parties will have two months to modify the settlement agreement if needed.
3. After a minimum of sixty days, the couple is permitted to refuse a final hearing as long as the Indiana Divorce Settlement Agreement is satisfactory to both of them - the judge to whom the case was assigned will issue a decree confirming the marriage is dissolved. The spouses are obliged to sign this document and notarize it to agree to the terms of their divorce and put an end to the process.
