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...
