That depends on the circumstances. Indiana reserves the right to jail parents found in contempt of court for failure to pay any child support in arrears no matter the age of the child, or failure to abide by an extended support order (where support is modified by the court to continue past the child's age of emancipation, which is 19 in Indiana, recently lowered from age 21 ).

In general, if no support is in arrears, Indiana child support terminates when the child reaches the age 19 although a provision remains for the "educational needs" of a child over 19 but doesn't spell out exactly what falls into that category.

In Indiana generally, the obligation ends when the child reaches 18 years of age or the child graduates from high school, whichever occurs later.
