PLEASE NOTE:

By clicking on the button below, you are agreeing that you understand this website is not a substitute for the advice of a lawyer.

Every time you file a Court document or appear in Court, you are either helping or hurting your case. Before you move forward with any Court case, it is a good idea to talk with a lawyer to make sure you know your rights and responsibilities, as well as the possible consequences of proceeding. If you choose to go to court without a lawyer, you will have to follow the appropriate Indiana statutes, Indiana Rules of Evidence, Indiana Rules of Trial Procedure, and any local rules. Although these forms have been prepared to help you represent yourself, some Courts may have their own procedures and may not accept every form.

For additional information on representing yourself in Court, see Representing Yourself in Court: What You Should Know and watch the video “Family Matters”. For help finding a lawyer, see Getting Legal Help.

Step 1: Who should use this packet
You should use this form packet if:

  1.    You are filing for divorce against your spouse; and
  2.    You are indigent and are unable to pay the required filing fees or other expenses associated with the documents you are submitting to the Court.

Remember: There is no filing fee for contempt or modification actions.


Step 2: What this packet contains
The packet (link below) is a document, which contains several pages of questions that you complete on the computer.  When you answer the questions, the forms will be filled in automatically.  Once the packet is completed, you must print the forms, sign the forms, make copies, and take them to the Clerk of the Court.  Review your local court rules to find out how many copies you will need, and any additional forms or procedures required in your county.


Step 3: File your Completed Forms

  • Take the originals and copies of your forms to the Clerk of the Court in the county where you are filing your case.
  • The Clerk will stamp the forms with a filing date and give you back a copy.
  • If the Judge grants your motion, you will need to take a copy of the Order to the Clerk of the Court when you file your other court papers.
  • Mail one stamped copy of each form that you filed to the other person’s attorney, or the other person if he or she is not represented by an attorney.
