Strong, Trial-Ready Advocates Protecting Your Rights
One of the best ways to make the most of a divorce is to try to remove yourself from the emotion and clearly understand what you want, why, and if your legal desires are realistic. Divorce law is complex making this difficult. However, there are three pervasive myths about divorce law that have many litigants confused before they even consult…
Most of us will have multiple jobs during our work career. The days of starting, working for and retiring with a company are mostly past. For divorced parents or those who have children born outside of marriage, a move for a job, new relationship, or the myriad of reasons, the move is more complicated because of Indiana’s custody relocation status.…
Probably. Divorce is unique in civil suits because the parties likely will continue to know each other (particularly) if they have children and interact into the future. With a divorce if you lose custody, child support is wrong, or the property is not properly divided or completely divided, you need to appeal to protect your future rights. This blog explores…

However, if you are going to divorce, picking the “right” divorce attorney for your case is the way to avoid wasting money and going through multiple attorneys because you are perpetually dissatisfied. Often, the “best” divorce attorney—who may have handled every case from international parental abduction to a…
Maybe. The Constitution’s Second Amendment1 right to bear arms is a right enjoyed by most, but one that is not absolute. Perhaps most notable is a person that has a felony conviction—knows just how many consequences come with it. In Indiana (and under federal law), an individual does not have Second Amendment rights with a felony conviction.2 This means he…
The ending of yet another year and thinking about life and goals for the next year brings up all sorts of thoughts; psychologists and lawyers will tell you the clients they see have them run the gambit during the holiday season (Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Years). Often this brings up a continually declining marriage and thoughts of filing for divorce. So, with the…
The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines are presumed to apply to every custody case (paternity or divorce). These Guidelines presume one parent will have primary physical custody and the other will have overnight parenting time. Typically, for a child above three (3) years of age, this is one night during the week, every other weekend, alternating holidays, and half of the…
