A:  Answer?
You have the right to remain silent. If you talk to the police in an effort to "straighten things out" or to "tell your side", that statement could turn into evidence against you. You have a right to an attorney who is best able to evaluate other rights reserved to you by the Constitution, including the right against unreasonable searches and seizures.

A:  You should call an attorney who works in the area of Family Law right away so you can be advised of your legal rights and responsibilities.

A:  You do not have to have an attorney to get a divorce. If your divorce is simple and the terms are agreed to completely, then you may be able to do it yourself. If you have children or property, however, you are better served by consulting an attorney.

A:  No Fault Divorce has been the law in Indiana since 1971. It means that a petitioner does not have to allege misconduct or fault against their spouse in order to get a divorce. Generally, a Petition to Dissolve a Marriage only states that the marriage is irretrievably broken without details as to why.

A:  You should first contact your attorney to see if your file is still available. Indiana attorneys are only obligated to keep files stored for a certain number of years. If your attorney does not have a copy, you may contact the Howard County Clerk's Office on the second floor of the courthouse, if your divorce was filed in Howard County. You may get a copy of your divorce decree order for a small fee.

A:  There are several options available from negotiation to mediation to filing a citation for contempt of court. We would calculate how far behind your ex-spouse is on their payments, look into the history of the problem and consider whether it is time for support to raised as well.

A:  "The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines are based on the premise that it is usually in a child’s best interest to have frequent, meaningful and continuing contact with each parent. It is assumed that both parents nurture their child in important ways, significant to the development and well being of the child. The Guidelines also acknowledge that scheduling parenting time is more difficult when separate households are involved and requires persistent effort and communication between parents to promote the best interest of the children involved. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a model which may be adjusted depending upon the unique needs and circumstances of each family. These guidelines are based upon the developmental stages of children. The members of the Domestic Relations Committee of the Judicial Conference of Indiana developed the guidelines after reviewing the current and relevant literature concerning visitation, the visitation guidelines of other geographic areas, and the input of child development experts and family law practitioners. Committee members also relied upon data from surveys of judges, attorneys, and mental health professionals who work with children, reviews of court files, and a public hearing.
A child whose parents live apart has special needs related to the parent-child relationship. A child’s needs and ability to cope with the parent’s situation change as the child matures. Parents should consider these needs as they negotiate parenting time. They should be flexible and create a parenting time agreement which addresses the unique needs of the child and their circumstances. The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines are designed to assist parents and courts in the development of plans and represent the minimum time a parent should have to maintain frequent, meaningful, and continuing contact with a child."

A:  The Income Shares Model is the basis for the Indiana Child Support Guidelines. This model was perceived as the fairest approach for children because it is based on the premise that children should receive the same proportion of parental income after a dissolution that they would have received if the family had remained intact. Because it then apportions the cost of children between the parents based on their means, it is also perceived as being fair to parents. In applying the Guidelines, the following steps are taken:
1. The gross income of both parents is added together after certain adjustments are made. A percentage share of income for each parent is then determined.
2. The total is taken to the support tables, referred to in the Indiana Guidelines as the Guideline Schedules for Weekly Support Payments, to determine the total cost of supporting a child or children.
3. Work‑related child care expenses and the weekly costs of health insurance premiums for the child(ren) are then added to the basic child support obligation.
4. The child support obligation is then prorated between the parents, based on their proportionate share of the weekly adjusted income, hence the name "income shares."
The Income Shares Model was developed by The Institute for Court Management of the National Center for State Courts under the Child Support Guidelines Project. This approach was designed to be consistent with the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, the principles of which are consistent with IC 31‑16‑6‑1. Both require the court to consider the financial resources of both parents and the standard of living the child would have enjoyed in an intact family
