Comprehensive and Compassionate Divorce and Family Law Counsel

Navigating family changes like divorce or child custody disputes is emotionally draining and legally complex. Indiana is an equitable division state, meaning the court divides marital property and debt fairly, but not always equally. Jay Lauer works directly with you to outline realistic goals and construct practical strategies to resolve disputes. Our family law services include:

• Divorce and Asset Division: We assist clients with both uncontested and contested divorces, protecting your property, savings, and financial stability.
• Child Custody and Visitation: We advocate for parenting schedules that prioritize the best interests of your children.
• Child Support and Modification: We handle calculations, collections, and petitions for emancipation or post-divorce support modifications.

When you need to hire an attorney who understands the human element of family litigation and will guide you with empathy, Jay Lauer is here to help.
