Family Law
Skilled Counsel for Divorce and Family Issues
Family law involves legal disputes or concerns that affect family and household relationships. This is a unique area of law with special legal standards that set it apart from other types of civil law.
I am attorney Lawrence C. Arany, and I have been certified as a family law specialist by the Indiana State Bar Association. Only about 60 lawyers in the entire state of Indiana have attained this certification. To discuss any family law concerns you may have, don't hesitate to contact me at my offices in Indianapolis.
Experienced in Many Areas of Family Law
I am prepared to help clients with a number of different family law issues under Indiana law. I have extensive experience pursuing fair, positive outcomes in cases involving the following areas of family law:
- Divorce in Indiana: Our state has a relatively efficient system for helping people achieve fair resolutions to their divorce cases.
- Property division: One important aspect of divorce is determining who gets which property and who is responsible for which debts.
- Child custody and support: Issues involving the care and support of children are among the most important family law matters.
- Family law modifications: Family law determinations concerning child custody and support can be modified when circumstances change.
- Paternity: If the father of a child has not been formally recognized, a paternity action is the first step toward a child custody and/or support order.
- Legal separation: If you are separated and not prepared to get divorced, it may be helpful to get issues involving your property and children settled.
- Prenuptial agreements: Couples are increasingly interested in setting their own marriage terms in the case of future death or divorce. I can help.
- Cohabitation: Indiana law gives rights to some cohabitating, unmarried couples. A settlement agreement is a way of defining these rights yourself.
Family law issues can be stressful, but an experienced lawyer can alleviate much of that stress by carefully guiding you through the process and helping you make informed decisions. Contact me with your family law questions today.
