Property Division Basics
Under Indiana law, the presumption is that, barring the existence of a valid prenuptial agreement, all marital property will be divided 50/50, or equally between the parties. While a property settlement may be reached on those terms, it may also be appropriate to award more to one party in certain circumstances. An attorney at Ruppert & Schaefer, P.C., can discuss with you the likelihood of an unequal property distribution for your case.
We have extensive experience in property division matters involving marital estates of all sizes. Our lawyers understand how to identify marital property, value marital assets and argue persuasively and forcefully to help achieve our clients’ objectives.
