Indiana Law - Can the Court Order Marriage Counseling? The court may order counseling, if either party requests it, or if a child or the child's guardian appointed by the court requests it. The court on its own initiative may suggest counseling if there is a child under age 18 in the family. However, for joint counseling, both parties must agree to the counseling. Also, if there is evidence that one party has shown a pattern of domestic violence against either spouse or child, then the court may not require counseling. And if, at a hearing, the judge believes there is a reasonable possibility of reconciliation, the judge may order counseling and delay the divorce decree by up to 45 days. Section 31-1-11.5-7(a)(4),(f).
