Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
I was divorced in the state of Indiana. We have 3 children together, the oldest turns 19 in June. What has to be done legally to have her removed from child support? I am assuming he doesn't just stop paying a third of the support payment on his own but I haven't received any legal papers from him yet so just curious.

The support amount will stay the same after she turns 19 unless one of you petitions to change it. There is no automatic change. He may be staying silent because if you are going to request assistance on college expenses, you have to file a request before the 19th birthday (even if it is for expenses to be incurred after that.) If he waits until after 19, he may get a support reduction but you could not get money for college.
