About Bruce & Bruce
Frank Brinkman Law PC is a family law practice based in Muncie, Indiana — the county seat of Delaware County in east-central Indiana. Attorney Frank Brinkman provides experienced dissolution and family law representation to clients throughout Delaware County and the surrounding communities, offering personalized legal counsel through all stages of Indiana's dissolution process. Attorney Brinkman's practice in Muncie reflects a commitment to serving the full range of Delaware County families with professional, client-centered legal representation. Indiana's dissolution framework under IC §31-15 presumes that all property belonging to either spouse constitutes the marital estate subject to equitable division under IC §31-15-7-4. Courts can deviate from equal division based on a statutory list of factors, including the economic circumstances of each party, contributions to the marital estate, and the earning potential of each spouse going forward. Frank Brinkman Law PC handles Indiana dissolution proceedings including property division, the limited maintenance provisions available under Indiana law, child custody, parenting time scheduling under Indiana's Parenting Time Guidelines, and child support determinations. Attorney Brinkman helps clients navigate both cooperative uncontested dissolutions and contested proceedings requiring courtroom advocacy. The firm serves clients throughout Delaware County and the surrounding east-central Indiana region, including Randolph County, Henry County, Jay County, and Madison County.
