IC 31-15-2-10 — the final hearing comes no earlier than 60 days after the petition is filed
Dissolution of marriage is decreed only on a finding of one of these grounds and no other.
Who handles this in Indiana: legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Indiana directory.
- Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
- Either spouse's conviction of a felony after the marriage.
- Impotence existing at the time of the marriage.
- Incurable insanity of either spouse for at least two years.
When the petition is filed, at least one spouse has been a resident of Indiana, or stationed at a military installation in it, for the six months before, and a resident of the county, or stationed there, for the three months before.
The final hearing is held not earlier than 60 days after the petition is filed, outside the chapter's exceptions.
