Trusted Family Law Guidance In Fort Wayne
Last updated on April 18, 2025
People facing divorce, child custody disputes and other family law problems in the Fort Wayne area turn to Adolf Law Office for trusted guidance and strong advocacy.
We apply a proactive and detail-oriented approach to a broad range of family law issues, including:
- Divorce: We guide clients through the divorce process in Indiana, helping ensure fair division of assets acquired during marriage. This includes homes, vehicles, investment accounts and personal property. We work diligently to establish what constitutes separate property versus marital property and advocate for equitable distribution of both assets and liabilities. Our approach prioritizes finding practical solutions while remaining prepared to litigate when necessary.
- Child custody and visitation: Our vast experience in the family law practice enables us to help parents establish parenting time arrangements that serve their children’s best interests. This includes pursuing sole or joint legal custody, creating physical custody schedules and addressing visitation rights. When parents relocate, we navigate the complex legal requirements of move-away cases, helping clients either pursue or challenge proposed relocations while maintaining focus on the children’s well-being.
- Child support: Our firm assists in establishing accurate child support orders based on Indiana’s guidelines. This involves careful calculation of both parents’ incomes, consideration of healthcare costs, childcare expenses and other factors that impact support amounts. When circumstances change, we help clients pursue or defend against modification requests to ensure support remains appropriate.
- Contempt and enforcement: When court orders are violated, we take action to protect our clients’ rights. This includes filing motions for contempt when court-ordered obligations are not met, seeking enforcement of property division orders and addressing violations of custody or visitation arrangements. Our attorney works to resolve these issues efficiently while pursuing appropriate remedies.
- Paternity: We represent clients in establishing legal parentage, which impacts custody, visitation and support rights. For instance, we handle DNA testing processes and court proceedings to legally establish father-child relationships, helping unmarried parents secure their legal rights and responsibilities.
- Protective orders: Our lawyer assists clients seeking protection from domestic violence or harassment. This includes obtaining emergency protective orders, representing clients in hearings to make these orders permanent and defending against unfounded protective order requests when necessary.
- Emancipation: We guide families through the legal process of emancipation, helping minor children establish independence in appropriate circumstances or guiding parents on their continuing obligations.
- Grandparents’ rights: We represent grandparents seeking visitation rights with their grandchildren. Indiana law provides specific circumstances under which grandparents may petition for visitation, and we help navigate these complex legal standards to maintain these important family relationships.
