What constitutes going to college in Indiana. Can they do 1 class for 1 semester, take a semester off, and do another 1 class until the age of 21 to stretch out child support?

Hello w:

If you do what you propose, I'm sure your father will want to know too. I'll bet he won't like it and is going to have a judge decide.

In NY the child has to be a full time student.

The only thing I can find in Indiana is that child support stops if the child is not a student for a period of 4 months. I do not see the issue of full-time, part-time.

My suggestion would be to go back to Court for an explanation.

It will be open to be discussed in court, normally no, plus the semester off would trigger a reason to end support.

OK, in order, I am the father, and I think this is what they are doing. The only thing I could find was the 4 month provision (1 semester) with no "full time"stipulation. As for going back to court, I live in Texas, and they are in Indiana, with the child support order through Indiana. I cannot afford to go back to IN for a court case, and am trying to find if I have cause to contest the order on these grounds. We don't have an open line of communication going, and that will probably not change.

File a motoin to end the support order stating the facts, See if the other side objects.

And I guess you add up how much the child support is for the next ( how many years) is it cheaper to pay, or to file in court

So how do you know the current college attendance situation? If you don't have all the facts, send them a letter demanding a certificate of attendance from a college.

Facebook comments about full time job, concern over daughter driving in snow to work, but no mention from either daughter or mother about school. Not proof, but what 19 y/o doesn't say anything about the classes she is taking, when she posts everything else in her life?

You need proof - not mentioning College on Facebook is not legal proof.

I understand that, which is why I said the above. I'm just trying to determine if there is sufficient justification to investigate these suspicions to determine if I need to find actual proof. If there is a full time provision, if they have to maintain a certain GPA, etc. As I only have another 10 months until she is 21, I would imagine with the time that it would take to get a court date, the money I would have to spend to go to IN as well as the time off from work, it would be cheaper and less stress to just pay the next 10 months. Thanks, everyone, for the info/advice.

What does your decree say? Support until 21 if she's a student or until she graduates from College?
