For cost effective and highly professional representation in a divorce, contact Indianapolis divorce attorney Tony Zirkle. He can help you identify and define your primary goals in a dissolution of marriage case, and his knowledge of Indiana family law can help you achieve your objectives without unnecessary litigation expenses or stress.

Tony Zirkle can advise you about your rights and responsibilities with respect to the issues that commonly arise in an Indiana divorce: division of the marital property and debts, custody and support of the children, and alimony or spousal maintenance. Because Indiana is an equitable distribution state on property division issues, you should assume that the court will try to make an even division of the property, but has wide discretion to give one spouse or the other a larger share. In some cases, property division is negotiated together with alimony in order to maximize the value of each party's share of a complex marital estate, while taking tax attributes and retirement benefits into due account.

Most disputed issues in divorce are resolved by agreement. From the very beginning of the case, our family law team can explain and work toward the short-term arrangements for custody of the children, visitation and parenting time for the spouse moving out of the marital home, payment of bills and support for the children and if necessary an unemployed spouse, and other matters that need to be resolved within the first 21 days after the divorce case is filed. If the parties cannot agree to these interim arrangements, the family law judge is likely to order temporary custody and support terms that will satisfy neither party.

Once the temporary arrangements have been approved or imposed by the court, we then concentrate on defining the issues that will most likely be contested, whether they concern the division of marital property, the amount of child support payments, or the establishment of a parenting time schedule. In some Indiana counties, mediation of disputed issues is required before the court will hear a motion to resolve a disagreement in favor of one or the other divorcing spouse. In other counties, the judges will hear and resolve disputed issues without the need for mediation.

An important advantage of our practice is our statewide experience. With locations in Indianapolis, South Bend, Crown Point, and Fort Wayne, divorce lawyer Tony Zirkle has a firsthand understanding of the different local practices and rules from county to county, and he can use this experience to your benefit.

Child Support
Information from multiple sources shows that only 10% of all noncustodial fathers fit the “deadbeat dad” category: 90% of the fathers with joint custody paid the support due. Fathers with visitation rights pay 79.1%; and 44.5% of those with NO visitation rights still financially support their children. (Source: Census Bureau report. Series P-23, No. 173). [...]

Divorce Rate
The divorce rate in 2005 (per 1,000 people) was 3.6 — the lowest rate since 1970, and down from 4.2 in 2000 and from 4.7 in 1990. (The peak was at 5.3 in 1981, according to the Associated Press.)
