Contempt
Sec. 6. (a) If the court finds that a party is delinquent as a result
of an intentional violation of an order for support, the court may find
the party in contempt of court. If an action or request to enforce
payment of a child support arrearage is commenced not later than ten
(10) years after:
(1) the child becomes eighteen (18) years of age; or
(2) the emancipation of the child;
whichever occurs first, the court may, upon a request by the person
or agency entitled to receive child support arrearages, find a party in
contempt of court.
(b) The court may order a party who is found in contempt of court
under this section to:
(1) perform community restitution or service without
compensation in a manner specified by the court; or
(2) seek employment.
