Indiana Child Support Guidelines
Indiana child support laws take many factors into account in determining how much child support a parent must provide. Factors include:
- The financial resources of each parent
- The child’s educational needs
- The child’s health care needs
Determining child support is a fairly straightforward calculation, but certain factors can complicate the matter. For instance, if the paying parent is self-employed or has hidden income, it may be necessary to investigate whether he or she is contributing his or her fair share of support.
Child Support Enforcement And Contempt
If a parent does not fulfill his or her child support obligations, it may be necessary for the other parent to petition the court for an enforcement of orders. The court can use a variety of methods to enforce child support orders, including issuing an income withholding order. If the parent is found to be delinquent, the court can hold him or her in contempt of court, which can result in criminal penalties, including jail time.
If you are engaged in a child support dispute, our lawyers can represent your interests. Joan Champagne is a former child support prosecutor who today represents mothers and fathers in child support proceedings. She has the perspective and insight to understand how judges are likely to rule in these cases.
