Offering Clear Legal Guidance And Professionalism To Every Indiana Family

Experienced Granger Divorce Attorneys For Families Facing New Futures

At the Blanford Law Office, we know that ending a marriage is one of the most difficult transitions you will ever face. Since 1990, our family law attorneys have served as steady guides for those facing high-stress family situations. We focus on providing reliable legal guidance when you need it the most. If you live in Granger or anywhere in St. Joseph County, you deserve a legal team that takes the time to explain your rights and options. We work to help you make informed decisions so you can move forward with clarity.

Dedicated Family Law Advocacy In St. Joseph County

Granger residents look for a couple of things when they are in need of a divorce lawyer: a strong advocate who will vigorously represent their client and a lawyer who truly understands what their client is going through. The lawyers in the Blanford Law Office have the experience, the knowledge and the understanding to handle the division and distribution of your marital estate, but, perhaps more importantly, they have the compassion necessary to help you work through child custody and parenting time disputes.

Can A Divorce Attorney In Granger Help With Mediation Instead Of Court?

Absolutely. Effective legal representation in divorce mediation requires an attorney who knows Indiana divorce law and how it is applied by the courts. While it’s true that in mediation, the best divorce result is one you and your spouse have worked out yourselves, if you don’t understand the applicable divorce laws, then you may not know or understand what you’re getting, or, possibly worse, what you’re not getting.

The lawyers at the Blanford Law Office understand divorce law.

What Happens If Your Spouse Refuses To Respond To Divorce Papers In Indiana?

If your spouse ignores the petition for dissolution of marriage, the divorce does not stop. Your Granger family law attorney has a number of tools available to move the divorce along, with or without your spouse’s cooperation. As a matter of fact, if your spouse were to wholly avoid the entire thing, your lawyer would at some point ask the court to grant you a “default judgment.” This means a judge would likely grant you a divorce and make rulings on property and custody matters without input from the other person.
