When Can I Stop Paying Support In Indiana?

Question

I have gotten two virtually polar opposite opinions on how child support is eliminated once a child emancipated.
My understanding is, that a child is ''emancipated'' once the are married, in the military or 18 and not taking higher education. Or in my case aged 21 and in College.
Given that, my brother had an attorney say that Indiana Statues over rule any judges order. So he may stop without further notice to the court when the child is legally emancipated. The Clerk in my county said this is incorrect and I must fill out a form ''www.in.gov/judiciary/selfservice/forms/eman_term.html'' to petition the court to terminate due to emancipation. What is the real rule of law here?

Answer 1

i say 18 is the legal age unless the child is still in school or college but if in the military no child support is needed cause the child made a decision to join the government so no need to pay extra money on that kid, and divorce papers should also say

Answer 2

Your divorce/support papers should explain how long support is to be paid for. You can also check with the Child Support Bureau in your area.
