Termination of child support
Sec. 18. The duty to support a child under this article (or
IC 31-6-6.1 before its repeal) ceases when the child becomes
twenty-one (21) years of age unless either of the following
conditions occurs:
(1) The child is emancipated before the child becomes
twenty-one (21) years of age. If this occurs, the child support,
except for educational needs, terminates at the time of
emancipation. However, an order for educational needs may
continue in effect until further order of the court.
(2) The child is incapacitated. If this occurs, the child support
continues during the incapacity or until further order of the
court.
As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.6.
