Mediation — A Requirement in Indiana
People involved in most family law disputes must first go through the mediation process. This is often less contentious, less expensive and more likely to result in an outcome that both sides can accept. However, because it does not work in every case, many family law matters proceed to trial. Attorney Bellinger has significant experience in the courtroom and will take your matter to trial whenever that is to your advantage.
FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF MEN AND FATHERS
Although the culture and the law are changing, men are still the underdogs in many family law cases. Women, especially mothers, often receive the benefit of the doubt and are awarded custody or generous child support even when not warranted by the facts. Attorney Bellinger is a supporter of men’s rights in family law cases and works hard to level the playing field for men and fathers.

FAQs About Family Law in Indiana
Why is mediation required in most Indiana family law cases?
Indiana courts require mediation to give both parties an opportunity to resolve their disputes outside of a formal trial. The goal is to find a mutually acceptable agreement in a less contentious and less expensive setting. It also empowers you to have more control over the final outcome.
What kind of evidence do I need for my family law case?
The evidence you need depends on your specific issue. It can include financial records for property division and child support, text messages or emails for custody disputes and even witness testimony. A key part of our process is guiding you through the evidence and record-gathering stage to build the strongest case possible.
My situation seems straightforward. Do I still need a family law attorney?
Even seemingly simple cases can have hidden challenges. Your future, your children’s well-being and your financial security are all at stake. A skilled attorney ensures your rights are protected, all paperwork is handled correctly and you don’t make a costly mistake that could affect you for years to come.
What is the most important quality to look for in a family law attorney?
You need an attorney who combines knowledge and experience with compassion and dedication, someone who will work to minimize your stress while fighting for a favorable outcome. We are committed to being that advocate for you.
