Divorce Attorneys in Northwest Indiana

Not all marriages last, and if you are starting to consider a divorce, your first step should be to seek help from an experienced divorce attorney. In Indiana, like most states, divorces are “no-fault” and based upon an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Few people fully know what to expect from the divorce process. Once you have some facts and answers, you’ll be able to find your way out of a failed or unhealthy relationship.

Our capable divorce attorneys will explain to you the details involved with:

• Uncontested Divorce
• Divorce Law
• Legal Separation
• Family Law
• Child Custody
• Child Support

A legal separation may give your marriage a second chance

A married person who does not wish to file for divorce has the option in Indiana to file a Petition for Legal Separation. The purpose of a Legal Separation is to give the couple time to live apart from their spouse, with the hope they work on the marriage and reach a happy reconciliation. The separation can be in effect for a period of one year. During that time, either partner may change the Separation to a Dissolution of Marriage action.

Divorce can be very difficult, but it does not have to tear your life apart.

Divorce affects your financial future, children, living arrangements, and family life. The choices you and your spouse make during this process will impact the lives of you and your family for many years to come. As experienced Indiana divorce attorneys, we will guide you through decisions and disputes using a “cooperative approach” process.

Studies have found that the more parties are able to come to agreements on their issues of custody, support, parenting time and property division, the less likely it is that they will be back in court in the future on post-dissolution issues.  In a cooperative approach, the lawyers and the parties will work together in an attempt to resolve the outstanding issues amicably leaving the control and decision making in the hands of the parties, rather than the court.

Obviously, agreements cannot be reached in each and every case.  In those instances, the attorneys at Arshad, Pangere & Warring, LLP will work to represent your best interests throughout the process and in court. If your divorce goes to trial, you need the services of an experienced divorce and trial attorney who understands the ins and outs of trial work. When such steps are necessary to resolve your case, Arshad, Pangere & Warring, LLP can still help.

You’ll benefit from our years of practical trial experience handling divorce cases in Northwest Indiana that have become contentious. We understand local divorce law, family court protocol, and may even have argued cases before the same judges who will decide your case.
