Q: If a child support case exist in Indiana and at this point all children
If a child support order exist in Indiana and at this point all childrenre over 19 and one has been deceased over a year; is there an option to end the child support order if both parents agree?
A: Based on what your question poses, yes, once the children are 19 or over they can be emancipated. You have to file documents with the court that has the original jurisdiction over the child support matter for each child. The parents can agree to it but it really does not have to be an agreed order or motion it is a mater of statute the parent paying child support can get this done under. It makes it easier if both parties are aware of it.
