If a child is still living at home at age 21, will child support continue until age 23 in Indiana?

"Twenty-one is the simple answer.

Of course, this being the law, there is more to the answer. Support can end before age 21 if the child is emancipated. Children are automatically emancipated when they are married or join the military. Just file a notice with the court unless there are children younger than the one being emancipated. More about that below.

Two scenarios exist where the child might be emancipated but not automatically. In one such scenario, the child is out of high school, not attending a post-secondary school and capable of supporting themselves. The second scenario requires the child to have removed himself/herself from the control and custody of either parent. Both scenarios require the non-custodial parent to file a petition with the court and prove that child should be emancipated."

First, please pay more attention to posting guidelines. The Chiuldren forum, where this was moved from, has a Read First sticky that directs legal question to this forum.

Generally when support stops is written into the Support agreement. Usually the wording is something like age 18 or until completion of education. What does your support agreement say?
