Filing a divorce without knowing the process of how to carry it out can be a daunting task. It is important that you have to know the laws and requirements for its filing within the state that has its jurisdiction. The state of Indiana necessitates that every family cases must be filed on mandated forms which are approved by the court.
It is required that one of the party has been residing in Indiana for about six months before the petition for divorce is undertaken, and lives in the county for three months where the petition is actually filled. There are two types of ground for filing a divorce. A no-fault ground is the one most commonly used by petitioners because there is no need to present proof at the final hearing. No-fault simply implies that there is an irretrievable breakdown of marriage, and any attempts for a reconciliation is practically useless due to the fact that the interests are not in favor to both parties.
The fault grounds need some proofs to be presented before the judge can rule in the petitioner's favor, otherwise, he or she can just decide to dismiss the case.
