Divorce Attorney Fees Coverage

Summary

In Indiana, courts may order the higher-earning spouse to cover the others attorneys fees based on financial need and ability to pay. This is not guaranteed and depends on the specific circumstances of the case. For uncontested divorces, attorneys fees might be lower, but asset division, such as proceeds from house sales, should be considered. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
