Arrearages; court orders
Sec. 3. (a) The obligation of a person to pay child support
arrearages does not terminate when the person's duty to support a
child ceases under IC 31-16-6-6 (or IC 31-1-11.5-12(e) before its
repeal). The statutes applicable to the collection of child support
obligations are applicable to the collection of child support
arrearages described in this section.
(b) The court, upon request of a person or an agency entitled to
receive child support payments, may issue an order that contains any
of the following:
(1) A determination of the amount of child support arrearage
due to a person or an agency entitled to receive child support
payments.
(2) An order directing a person to pay the child support
arrearage.
(3) The schedule and other terms on which a person is to pay a
child support arrearage.
(4) Any other provision that the court determines to be
appropriate.
An order issued under this subsection is enforceable to the same
extent as an order or award in a child support decree.
As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.8. Amended by P.L.39-2002, SEC.2.
