Terminate Child Support-Emancipated No Agreement
This form is helpful when all the children that you share with another parent are now emancipated and should no longer be supported by child support payments. This form should only be used if you and the other parent do not agree about stopping child support payments.
What are the qualifications?
- You or the other parent are ordered to pay child support for your children.
- You believe that all the children you and the other parent have together are emancipated.
- The child support payments should stop.
- You and the other parent do not agree that the child support payments should stop.
When is a child emancipated? For purposes of child support, Indiana law (IC 31-16-6-6) considers a child emancipated if the child: 1. is age 19; or 2. has joined the United States armed services; or 3. is married; or 4. is not under the care or control of either parent or someone else approved by the court; or 5. is at least 18 years old, has not gone to school for the last 4 months, is not enrolled in school, and either is supporting himself or herself, or is capable of supporting himself or herself through employment. If you have another child with the same other parent and must still pay child support for that other child, even if this child is emancipated, you must use the forms ‘Change Child Support-Emancipated’.
