Indiana Filing and E-Filing

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.

Indiana's statewide e-filing system covers all 92 counties. Lawyers must e-file, while people representing themselves may e-file through an approved provider such as Odyssey File & Serve or still file on paper.

Divorce, custody, and support filings are covered statewide, and each county page lists its local e-filing details.

In Indiana, a parent without a lawyer can file family papers online, and filing on paper with the clerk is still allowed.
