A divorce isn’t just an emotional journey—it’s a complex process that can impact every corner of your life. From dividing assets and debts to navigating custody and parenting plans, the decisions you make now will shape your future. At CCHA Law, we recognize that family law doesn’t exist in isolation. It intersects with other areas like real estate, business, taxes, and education. That’s why our Family Law team collaborates with attorneys across more than 20 practice areas to ensure you get cost-effective solutions and the comprehensive support you deserve.
Business Services
If you’re a business owner, divorce can feel especially daunting. Ensuring your business runs smoothly during this time is critical. Our Business Services attorneys partner with the Family Law team to explore solutions like dividing or restructuring ownership while preserving profitability. They can also help update operating agreements to reflect new realities, protecting your business as you move forward.
Real Estate
For many, the family home or investment properties are at the heart of a divorce. Whether you need a trusted appraiser or insights into Indiana’s real estate market trends, our Real Estate attorneys provide the expertise to help you make informed decisions about property division.
Tax Planning
Dividing assets can have significant tax implications. Our Tax Planning team collaborates with Family Law attorneys, who are well-versed in 'speaking tax,' to help you understand marital tax obligations and develop strategies to minimize your future tax burdens. Their guidance ensures that financial decisions today don’t result in surprises tomorrow.
Criminal Law
Divorces can sometimes involve heightened emotions, and in rare cases, criminal allegations arise. When this happens, our Criminal Law team steps in to address any legal complications that might surface, working hand-in-hand with Family Law attorneys to ensure these issues are resolved appropriately.
Estate Planning
After a divorce, revisiting your estate plan is essential. Whether it’s creating a plan for the first time or updating existing documents, our Estate Planning experts work with Family Law to help protect your assets and set the stage for your next chapter.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)/Mediation
Not all divorces require litigation. Options like mediation, arbitration, and private judging can offer cost-effective, collaborative ways to resolve disputes. These approaches allow families to create tailored solutions, preserve relationships, and avoid the stress of courtroom battles. Whether it’s informal negotiation or structured mediation, ADR options can make the divorce process smoother and more constructive.
Appeals
Sometimes, legal complexities in family law cases require appellate review. If your case reaches this stage, our Appeals team ensures a seamless transition from trial to appeal, sparing you the stress of starting over with a new firm.
K-12 School and Education Services
For parents, a child’s education is a key factor in custody discussions. Our K-12 School and Education Practice Group provides valuable insights and resources to support your child’s success. While our expertise doesn’t influence custody outcomes, it equips families with tools to meet their children’s unique needs.
