Property And Asset Division Attorneys In Fishers And Hamilton County
Property and asset division is a critical part of any divorce, and in Indiana, the law uses a system of equitable distribution. This process requires the court to divide the marital estate in a just and equal way, which does not always mean a strict 50/50 split.
Unlike community property states, where division is often mandated 50/50, Indiana courts consider factors such as premarital assets or dissipation of funds. What counts as marital property – anything acquired by either spouse before or during the marriage – is distinct from truly separate, nonmarital property.

Protecting What Matters Most: Your Home, Savings, Investments And More
In a divorce, our property division attorneys in Indianapolis work to accurately categorize all assets and debts. This involves tracing the value of all items in the marital estate to pursue a fair allocation. We fight to ensure your peace of mind by defining the division of assets and liabilities accumulated during the marriage.
The types of marital property commonly divided are:
- Home and real estate properties
- Retirement and investments, including 401(k)s, pensions, stocks
- Business interests and professional practices
- Credit card debt, mortgages and loans
When protecting high-value or sentimental assets, such as inherited funds or family businesses, careful strategy is vital. We emphasize the importance of comprehensive documentation and professional valuation to accurately support your claim for the premarital or distinct value of an asset.
