What is a No-Fault Divorce in Indiana?

In Indiana, a no-fault divorce is a divorce that does not require one spouse to prove that the other spouse did something wrong. Instead, the couple can simply state that they have irreconcilable differences and cannot continue to live together.

How to File for a No-Fault Divorce in Indiana?

  1. Meet the Residency Requirement

    You must have lived in Indiana for at least six months before filing for divorce.

  2. File a Petition for Divorce

    You will need to file a petition with the court, stating that you and your spouse have irreconcilable differences and cannot continue to live together.

  3. Serve Your Spouse

    You will need to serve your spouse with a copy of the petition and a summons, which will inform them of the divorce proceedings.

  4. Wait for a Response

    Your spouse will have 20 days to respond to the petition and file a counterclaim.

  5. Attend a Hearing

    If your spouse does not respond, you will need to attend a hearing to finalize the divorce.

  6. Get a Divorce Decree

    Once the divorce is finalized, you will receive a divorce decree, which will officially end your marriage.
