Common questions.
How long does an uncontested divorce normally take in Indiana?
The total process allows you to get an uncontested divorce within a few months (typically from 60 days to 90 days). Our process and turnaround, specifically, is done within a few days of your document and information submission. The processing within the courts is what takes most of the time. Also, in Indiana there is a mandated 60 day waiting period from the date of filing, whether or not you have children.
When people hire attorneys without enough experience or try to navigate the process without adequate support, they can make critical errors that result in further delays, complications, and higher costs. We eliminate that risk with our guided product and expert review, before the filing even gets to the court.
What if we disagree on something?
If you disagree on any of the key matters, and you simply cannot come to a compromise or an agreement, then you might have to go the traditional route and hire our attorneys in order to gain access to resources you need or protect your resources from an unfair division. Our uncontested product does not offer mediation or negotiation services, however, you can hire Brown Carrington to handle your case. If you disagree on topics initially but you are able to come to a resolution about them on your own, then our uncontested product may offer you the best path towards a divorce.
Do we have to go to court?
While it depends on each specific case, you most likely will not have to attend court. In agreed cases, we submit a waiver of final hearing so the judge can sign your decree without a court date. In rare instances, judges may require you and your spouse to attend an online/virtual hearing to discuss your specific case.
What’s included in the flat fee?
We have taken decades of hard, complicated, and difficult work and created a product that empowers you to complete understandable questions so that we can accurately file your divorce documentation with your county administrators. Our product includes a thorough review of what you have filled out so that we can submit documentation correctly to enable a successful divorce. There are also court-related fees that we add to make up your total filing fee. The average court filing fee is about $157 (up to $177 in some counties). We are transparent so that your process is as efficient and effective as possible for you.
Can I switch to a contested process after?
Sometimes, even when spouses appear to agree on all terms when a divorce process begins, they can also devolve into an argument over the terms of your separation. When the process becomes too complicated due to these disagreements, you can switch to a contested, more traditional process so that you can protect your resources and your future.
Self service doesn’t mean you do it alone. Our Indiana family law attorneys review your agreement and filings before anything goes to the court.
