Why not a Standing Domestic Relations Procedural Order for Indiana?

I found The Standing Domestic Relations Procedural Order: What You Need to Know from the Alaska Divorce Blog. Here are three things that I think ought to apply in Indiana:

1. Canceling the utilities on the family home. If you move out of the home by choice or because of court order, you should not cancel the utilities on the family home. If you do not want to continue to pay the utilities, then you should discuss this with your attorney.

2. Allowing the mortgage on the home to become delinquent. Under no circumstances should you allow the mortgage on the home to become delinquent. This would jeopardize your credit and could be viewed as endangering a marital asset.

3. Allowing car payments or credit cards to become delinquent. Under no circumstances should you allow any marital debt to become delinquent. Damaging credit while a divorce is pending is a factor a court would consider in equitably dividing marital assets.
Wow, this might create a deterrent some very stupid divorce games.
