These documents are standardized legal templates designed for couples in Indiana who mutually agree to end their marriage. They encompass all the necessary paperwork required to initiate and finalize a dissolution of marriage when both parties are in complete accord on all relevant issues. Examples include forms for property division, child custody arrangements (if applicable), spousal maintenance waivers, and final decrees.
Utilizing these standardized documents offers several advantages, including streamlined processing by the court system and reduced legal expenses, as extensive attorney involvement may not be required. Historically, accessing these forms required navigating complex legal systems or incurring significant costs for legal consultation. However, increased online accessibility has made this option more readily available, potentially lowering barriers to dissolving a marriage amicably.
