We provide a safe, emotionally supportive environment for our clients. We then will provide objective, balanced legal advice, with the client's best interests in mind.

Divorce
Researchers indicate that divorce can be one of the most stressful events a person can go through. We will evaluate all aspects of grounds for dissolution of marriage and work to provide our clients with the most favorable divorce settlements that Indiana law will allow. In divorce litigation, we will represent you throughout the process, from filing of the petition for divorce, through all motions, hearings and temporary orders, to final judgment. We will work with you and keep you informed of exactly what is going on at every step of the process.

Maintenance
We evaluate all issues pertaining to maintenance (alimony) and division of marital property that are in the best interest of our clients.

Custody
If there are children involved, we work toward solutions in sole custody, joint legal custody or shared physical custody situations, in the interests of our clients and the children.

Visitation and Child Support
We also assist our clients in issues of visitation, based upon the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, as well as Child Support, based on the Indiana Child Support Guidelines. There are often complicated formulas and computations involved in these guidelines, and our clients can have full confidence in our understanding of all of these issues, and of our ability to apply the standards to achieving the best result in a case.

Business Valuations
In instances in which business valuations are required, we have expertise in evaluating the complex financial issues involved, using spreadsheets and other state-of-the art financial evaluation tools to our clients' best advantage.

Mediation. Indiana family Law Courts are increasingly turning to alternative dispute resolution, including mediation. In this process, a mediator meets with the parties in a an informal setting to try to resolve their the issues in their case without the time, expense and emotional pain that most often characterizes divorce litigation. Frank Mattox is a certified domestic relations mediator is among our attorneys at Mattox, Mattox & Wilson. Richard Mattox is a certified civil litigation mediator.

Representation in Other Areas of Family Law
We are experienced in both established and emerging areas of Indiana family law. We represent clients who require prenuptial agreements, and those who seek legal separation. Our services include the protection of grandparents' rights, and, where warranted, the termination of parental rights. We are at the front of the curve in the emerging area of DNA paternity testing, and in related areas of paternity law.

Enforcement of Domestic Relation Orders
If your interests have been impaired because a party has failed to comply with a court order, we provide representation to enforce these court orders through the processes of post-modifications and rules to show cause. In addition, we assist clients who are the victim of domestic violence in obtaining protection from the courts through Emergency Protective Orders (EPO's) and Restraining Orders.

As experienced Indiana family law lawyers, we will evaluate your case and work with you to achieving the outcome you desire. If you require assistance in any of these areas of family law, please contact us as quickly as possible.
