In Indiana, a petitioner can either file for a fault based divorce or a non-fault based divorce depending on the circumstances. Generally, no fault divorces can take more time and are contestable. However, in order to get a divorce based on a fault ground, the ground must be valid under Indiana law. In other cases, courts will look to the provisions of agreements made by the parties either before or during the marriage to govern the manner in which property will be distributed. Most commonly referred to as prenuptial agreements, these agreements can set out the terms by which property is to be distributed between the parties.
In Indiana, the grounds for a fault based divorce are the conviction of a felony, impotence, and incurable insanity for a period of at least two years. IC 31-15-2-3 A petition can be filed on non-fault based circumstances for the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. In either case, a final hearing for the dissolution of marriage cannot be conducted until 60 days have passed from the filing of the petition. IC 31-15-2-10
In most cases, the court will distribute property between the parties equally, and the party requesting otherwise will have to overcome the presumption that an equal division of the marital property between the parties is just and reasonable. IC 31-15-7-5 This presumption can be overcome however, by evidence of contribution to the acquisition of the property, of the way in which the property was acquired, and the economic circumstances of both parties.
