Divorce Myth #3: Everything gets split 50/50.

Many people believe every divorce ends with an equal division of assets and debts.

Indiana law begins with that presumption, but every case is unique. Factors specific to your situation can affect how property is ultimately divided.

The best decisions are made with accurate information- not assumptions.

If you're navigating a divorce and want to better understand your rights, contact Smith Legal at 317-219-5403 to schedule a consultation.
