Family First Family Law

Your Trusted Divorce Attorney In Carmel, Indiana

Choosing to end a marriage isn’t an easy decision. It takes courage and strength to realize that your relationship is no longer what it once was – and that it’s finally time to move on. If you find yourself struggling with the change that’s to come, you’re not alone. Many Indiana couples go through this same life-altering event.

While divorce is common, every couple’s needs are different. I am Christine Douglas, a divorce attorney with over 25 years of experience with a variety of family law matters. I know just how important it is to learn about your unique needs and provide you with the personalized attention you deserve during this emotional and stressful time. Through my firm, Douglas Family Law LLC, I can help you make smart divorce decisions, so you feel confident starting a new chapter of your life.

Creative Strategies For All Types Of Divorce

Just as every marriage is different, every divorce is too. When I work on your case, I focus on understanding your main goals and interests. Is child custody your priority? Or are you interested in making sure property division is as equitable as possible? By determining your needs, I can better create a strong plan to help you reach a positive outcome.

I am a certified family law specialist by the Indiana State Bar Association Family Law Certification Board for over 25 years. I have the skill and knowledge necessary to take on your case whether it’s your first divorce, a high net worth divorce, an uncontested divorce, or a divorce with or without children. I also represent same-sex couples with their unique divorce needs.

A Family First Approach

Divorce affects everyone in the family. Working with a divorce lawyer can help minimize the impact a divorce can have on those you love, especially your children. There are options available to help you navigate this challenging situation without putting your kids in the middle.

Instead of immediately pursuing divorce, I can help determine if legal separation, mediation or couple’s therapy may resolve your troubles without breaking apart your family. As a registered family mediator, I know how to find solutions for your complex issues. I can also help you set up temporary guardianships for your children with grandparents or relatives while you work through your issues with your spouse.

If divorce is the only way forward, then I’m here to guide you through the next steps. Indiana is a no-fault state, meaning you can file for divorce without needing to prove either you or your spouse engaged in any marital misconduct. I will help you understand the best forms of conduct during divorce, such as how to reduce conflict and what to avoid posting on social media.

Compassionate Guidance From a Divorce Lawyer

You don’t have to face your a divorce alone. The support of a divorce lawyer can go a long way when you’re in the middle of such a life-changing situation.
