Indiana Court Locations and Records

FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.

Family cases in Indiana are heard in the Circuit or Superior Court. Indiana counties use Circuit Courts, Superior Courts, or both - all can hear family cases. Each county has a Circuit Court and often one or more Superior Courts.

The clerk's office is a different thing from the court itself. The clerk accepts filings, keeps the record, and collects fees, while judges and hearings belong to the court. For a filing question, the clerk is the right first call. The official Indiana directory and case record search are below.
