Northern Indiana couples must be separated for at least 60 days before finalizing their divorce.
A separation agreement is one option that more recently married couples may want to consider. This legal document provides details about how settlement matters are to be handled. It may provide for custody, support, and alimony during the interim period before a divorce is accomplished.
When a couple has lived apart for over 60 days, they may finalize their union. This separation does not have to happen before the divorce is filed but must be spent before the divorce can be completed. At least one party must have lived in Indiana for a minimum of 6 months, and the county where you file your petition for 3 months before submitting the documents. Our divorce attorneys will handle the many matters that must be resolved during this difficult and emotionally stressful time. We will work with you to provide the best possible outcome for your divorce.
Child Custody
Indiana strives to ensure both parents have the right to time and custody of their child. While this is generally believed to be best for the child(ren), that is not always the case. Our firm will help you construct a case to ensure the best outcome for you and your child(ren).
Hiring our experienced Family Law Attorneys can help protect you and your reputation through a Divorce. We will help you transition to this new phase in your life as seamlessly as possible while fighting for you and your rights.

Hidden Assets
An unfortunate reality in divorce is though you loved each other at one time, each spouse may not be as concerned about the well-being of the other as they once were. This disinterest can lead to stowing away assets to reduce the amount of child support or maintenance granted. We will help track down assets and ensure you and your child(ren), if applicable, receive the support you are owed.
Equitable Distribution in Indiana
Indiana is an equitable property division, depending on what the court deems “fair.” Financial contribution can be considered when dividing marital property, which could be detrimental to you; for example, if you were a housewife. We work to ensure the property distribution is fair for both the primary and secondary earners or dependent spouses.
Partner Abandonment After A Medical Diagnosis
Nationally, women are 6 times more likely to have divorce or separation filed on them after a significant medical diagnosis like cancer or multiple sclerosis. When you need the most support, you may be alone and unsure how to move forward. Labre Law Offices will help you get the support you need and ensure you get what is right in your divorce.

We understand that the divorce experience can differ greatly from person to person. Some people who come to see us to discuss divorce are in the very early stages of contemplating a split while others may be reeling from unexpectedly being served with a summons and complaint for divorce by their spouse. Some may have an early inkling that their spouse is considering dissolving the marriage and want to educate themselves about the legal implications in advance. In other situations, both spouses may have known for years that divorce is the right option for them but have only recently decided that the timing is right.
We understand that people in different situations have different needs and concerns, and we help them find their way.
