Laws according to Indiana would be? Situation: Daughter just graduated from hs turning 19 in August. Father and I have joint custody with him being the custodial parent, which means, yeah, I pay him support even though he makes 4 times what I do. Lost my job last fall due to downsizing, been working temporary ever since to keep up with life, child-support. Daughter is attending school this fall (staying at home) and commuting. Ex is telling me that he will put pressure on me to continue to pay child-support and to pay for college fees that I cannot afford. What are the rules around child support and college tuition (nothing mentioned in divorce decree). Will the courts order me to pay whatever Ex thinks I should pay or will they base this on my income? What are the clear emancipation laws in Indiana? If I have difficulty making child-support payments right now, would the courts order me to pay more because she wants to attend college?
