Change to Child Support and Emancipation in Indiana

This year, the Indiana State Legislature passed a new law which significantly impacts the rules surrounding emancipation and child support for a child who has reached the age of majority. Specifically, Indiana Code §31-16-6-6 has been modified to afford parents the ability to petition a court for child support to continue beyond the age of 19, which was the prior cut-off age for parental child support obligations.
