We live in Indiana and will pay child support up to age 21.
1: When the child lives at college can child support payments stop going to the EX and be given to the college directly?
2; If the child lives at home while in College does child support payments go to ex or to the school?

There is a child support order providing that you (the parent of the child) are to pay child support? If so, it provides that you are to pay the child support to the custodial parent. Thus it doesn't matter whether the child is living at home or not. He or she is still being supported by the custodial parent.

No, you would not make your support payments to the college.
