Indiana Child Support Information.
Here is some information on child support in Indiana. It sometimes bothers me how thee non custodial parents who pay child support, do not want to help with their children, by paying child support, or there is always an issue with the child support, it is for the care of their child. On that being said, I usually like to start my child support informational blogs, with something on that basis, I suppose a reminder to parents, this is for your child.
With child support in Indiana, either parent can be ordered to pay child support. Child support is not ordered for anything to do with a marital fault or misconduct in the marriage. Child support in Indiana has certain factors, and those are.
1. How much the custodial parent makes financially, their resources and what they pay, is a basis to how much child support is paid.
2. The same goes for the non custodial parent, how much they bring in financially and their financial resources along with what they pay, is a basis to how much child support is paid.
3. How the child was living during marriage, referred to as the standard of living, before the divorce, is a basis to how much child support is paid.
4. The physical and mental health of the child, if there is any certain medical bills. is a basis to how much child support is paid.
5. Education needs of the child. Now this information is part of a question on divorce and child yesterday. So I will continue number 5. with some extra information.....Educational needs for the child is an affect for child support, now I have not found any information for how the child has to be. I do know some states, will have a non custodial parent help, even after a child has graduated from high school and needs help with extra education, which can be college...Now on that being said, I am not sure what the age limit is for Indiana, I am sure asking a lawyer or court in your area, would give that information, you can also get a free consultation, *in most cases* with a lawyer to answer if the father needs to help with future schooling. With that Indiana child support orders can be modified at any time if there is certain changes. Here is a list of a couple changes.
1. Child support can be modified if there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as a big change in a parents income a child being several years older *which possibly could be the play on college* or a child being switched in custody.
2. Child support orders that were issued 12 months previous to pay child support, but it differs by more then a 20 percent difference in amount.
I hope this helps....if you have any more questions with that, please feel free to ask, I will also continue looking into Indiana's child support information, to see if I can find an age limit for schooling.
