    Default Uncontested Divorce Without Children and Agreement to All Issues

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Indiana

    And in the county of: Noble

    My wife and I decided divorce is best for us.

    We do not have children nor is she pregnant and we agree on all issues.

    We are trying to keep the cost of this down so we have more money to move on with...

    I called my Noble County Clerks Office and they referred me to a form which can be found at this following link:

    Forms for Divorce without Children and with an Agreement to all Issues

    I, the husband, brought into the marriage the following:

    House(still paying loan), my car(still paying loan), my student loan(still paying loan), my 401k, and furniture/personal property.

    My wife brought into the marriage the following:

    Her car(still paying loan), her student loan(still paying loan), and furniture/personal property.

    We have our own checking and saving accounts that were opened before marriage along with an account(we call the house account) I opened to put our wedding money into. She never got around to adding herself to the account so it's still just under my name. It also just a deposit of money from tax returns.

    We have agreed that... well to make it simple...

    She only wants 50% of the "House account" and anything she brought into the marriage.

    I also agreed with 50% of the "House account" plus whatever I brought into the marriage.

    She wants me to keep the house, all my 401k, my car, my debts and we are being very friendly with who gets what furniture/personal property.

    Everything is very civil and most likely we will end up being friends after this hard time.

    We don't want our pool of things to get 50/50 split since this would just end up screwing both us over. We would have no money left nor assets after a split of assets/property. We have no intention to hurt each other nor do we want to screw each other over assets/property.

    I've always paid for all the bills besides trash, internet and groceries.

    Will this form work for us?

    I've looked both versions of this form. There is two different versions. One you answer questions within the .pdf file and it automatically inserts the information into the correct areas. The other you have to hand write out the answers but it does come with a guide of the form.

    Each version confuses me differently.

    Do we need to show who gets what property/assets in this form? Or do we just check the boxes that hint we already decided who gets what.

    There is a area for "debts and property"

    There (is) or (is not) real estate. <---- You have to choose "is" or "is not"

    You have two choices:

    1. There are no debts / personal property to divide.

    2. Petitioner wishes the Court to divide the following debts / personal property:

    ... Do we just check the 1st box?

    And also there is a section which states...

    The parties have agreed on the following debt division:

    1. The parties already have divided their debts.

    2. Petitioner will be solely responsible for and shall hold Respondent harmless from,
    the following debts:

    Respondent will be solely responsible for, and shall hold Petitioner harmless from
    the following debts:

    Do we just check the 1st box again?

    Is it that simple to just select the 1st box? I don't want to select the 1st box if the court sees that I own a house and I have debt. We don't want the court deciding who gets what. I want us to decide that. Again we know what each person wants and we agree on everything.

    Also,

    later in the form there is a section about vehicles...

    Would we just select there are no vehicles to divide since we have then under our own names and want to keep our own cars.

    Below that is personal property...

    Again we can select

    1. We have already divided personal property

    2. Petitioner will have sole possession of the following items of property:
    Respondent will have sole possession of the following items of property:



    Any help would be great. If anything needs cleared up just let me know. We really feel we don't need a lawyer to do this...

    Default Re: Uncontested Divorce Without Children and Agreement to All Issues

    I talked to a lawyer yesterday, over the phone for free. He said to leave the section about debt and property on form "Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage" BLANK. He said this only regards to couples that have conflicts in issues.

    As for the "Decree of Dissolution of Marriage and Settlement Agreement" form. He said the debts and property areas on this form need to show who gets what. He also said that attaching another piece of paper and reffering it on the form will help with listing items since it will provide more space.

    I think I understand what needs to be filled in and what doesn't... but as for the agreement...

    When we list bank accounts and loans do we need to be specific... For example...

    Petitioner(me the husband) will have sole possesion of:

    Checking Account #********* and Savings Account #********* at PNC 802 East Dupont Road, Fort Wayne, IN <--- would this be the correct way to show I get 100% of my checking and savings accounts?

    Also, I would assume the house should be shown as the tax id# and lot # not the address?

    Thanks,

    Any help would he great!

    Default Re: Uncontested Divorce Without Children and Agreement to All Issues

    Alright I'm pretty sure I have the paperwork figured out. Only question is... will I need define life insurance. I currently have a default amount through work plus I'm paying for additional life on myself and some on my wife. Wasn't sure if Life insurance would end up like the other insurances. If I understand the health and dental are as easy as just showing the companies the divorce papers when it's final. Life insurance I wasn't sure.

    Thanks
