First thing..in Indiana...most courts view support and visitation as two separate issues. If the support is required through the courts the judge will ask what the visitation is at that time. However, if the non-custodial parent wants to get visitation without the custodial parents agreement, the non-custodial parent will have to file a request with the court and have a judge issue visitation. If there is no visitation order in place by a judge/court, the custodial parent has no legal requirement to permit visitation. I have dealt with this issue personally as well as my sibling, me being a custodial parent my sibling being a non-custodial parent. So I have seen what happens from both sides. Basically if it something isn't ordered by a judge/court, there is no legal requirement to do visitation or support.
What else can I help you with?
If non custodial parent quits their job to get a lower paying job does child support go down?
Yes, the non custodial parent will have to file for a change in the child support for it to be lowered. The new child support will be based on the new income.
How can you find out how much you should get in child support?
Child support is determined by the number of children you have in your care and the financial situation of the parent that is paying child support. Since every person's financial situation is different the amount people have to pay for child support varies from case to case. There is no set amount. The only way you can find out how much you should receive is to go to court to sue your children's' other parent for child support. The court will them determine how much should be paid every month.
Can an 18 year old child be locked out of the home if one parent is paying child support?
Yes, but the support can be modified to go directly to the child, or stopped. see link
If both parents have one sibling each living in their home does child support stop?
No. Child support stops when the court order mandating it says it does. Even if both children are living with the parent paying child support, child support doesn't automatically stop. A change in the living situation of the parents and children like this would definitely be grounds to go back to court and have the order modified.
If someone is over 3000 dollars behind on childsupport and wont pay does the other parent have to let the children go and see the parent not paying?
Yes, even dead beat fathers have the right to see their children. The back support is a legal issue between the two of you. The children still need to know they have parents that care. Putting aside your hatred and contempt for the sake of the children is a noble thing. I do understand the frustration, but keep it separated from the children.
Does the obligated parent have to continue paying child support when the child reaches 18 and continues their education and if so would the child need to live with that parent?
My Uncle had to pay child support for his daughter until she graduated from college. She has a masters degree. Well, he had to keep paying, but the money did not go to her mom, it went to his daughter. She lived off and on with her mom. * It depends upon the terms of the child support order. The order itself will not stipulate that the parent has to continue to pay for higher education but it will designate the age at which child support ends. Other than there being a standing support order parents have no legal obligation to pay for their children's education after they have reached the state's age of majority.
Does a parent have to pay child support for a 17 year old who does not go to school?
Because your child has decided to approach life defferently, does not exclude you from paying child support.
Both your children live with you they are 15 and 17 yrs old your ex wife still wants child support until the youngest turns 18 do you have to continue to pay her while they live with me?
Go through the proper channels to change this, don't just stop paying, but in theory child support is paid to the parent with legal, physical custody to help in the cost of raising the child so if you have legal, physical custody of your two children their mother should technically be paying you but be aware that she may challenge you for spousal support instead.
Does child support go to a child who is 18 and not living with custodial parent?

Can a parent take life insurance out on another parent if they are divorced and have children together?
Probably, but you would need the cooperation of the other person to do so. Might not be a bad idea if you are the parent depending on child support. Just go with term insurance for the period of time when the children are minors.
What can you do if you know a parent receiving child support but doesn't have custody of the children?
Encourage the person or persons with legal custody to file for child support modification or diversion of funds to them. If they do not have legal custody, that must be established or child support will continue to go to the person of record, the parent, in this case.
Can the parent paying child support deduct the child's wages from the child support order in Indiana if the child is 20?
No. This would constitute modifying the court order, which can be done only by the courts - which is where the obligor needs to go in this case.
