Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

When Can I Stop Paying Support In Indiana

I have gotten two virtually polar opposite opinions on how child support is eliminated once a child emancipated.

My understanding is, that a child is ''emancipated'' once the are married, in the military or 18 and not taking higher education. Or in my case aged 21 and in College.

Given that, my brother had an attorney say that Indiana Statues over rule any judges order. So he may stop without further notice to the court when the child is legally emancipated. The Clerk in my county said this is incorrect and I must fill out a form ''www.in.gov/judiciary/selfservice/forms/eman_term.html'' to petition the court to terminate due to emancipation. What is the real rule of law here?
