Next year, a new version of the Indiana Child Support Guidelines will become effective, and it’s the most substantial revision to the guidelines since they were first established. The changes embody a significant shift in methodology for determining child support, an adaptation to the evolving landscape of modern families, and a deeper understanding of the economic realities faced by families and co-parents in Indiana.
In addition to using recent economic data and updating the economic theory on which the guidelines are based, the revision addresses, clarifies, or eliminates a number of other issues to help streamline the process of establishing child support for Indiana’s families.
