Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Re: Am i eligible for divorce?

Whether your are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts here will depend on if you are considered a resident on the state and county in which you seek a divorce. This means that you have been a continuious resident of the state of Indiana for six months prior to filing and the county for at least three months. You may ask the court that it award you any attorney fees you've spent, but the court will look to the circumstances regarding your financial situation to determine that. Alimony does not exist in the state of Indiana, but maintenance does. The court may award it on temporary basis after considering the financial situation, which could under the right circumstances become permenant. It will all depend on the facts of the case. If need be, a protective order may also be requested if you are in fear of being harmed. If you're divorcing an American citizen, then your status could be impacted, but that would not be in the jurisdiction of the divorce court.

Should you wish to discuss this matter in greater detail and confidentiality, you may reach me through www.tambascolaw.com or by calling 317 686-0000. Whatever you may decide, I believe it wise you seek legal reprentation.
