Indiana Child Support Guidelines
Indiana’s current child support rules became effective May 14, 2024, and the courts separately highlighted January 1, 2024 changes to uninsured health-care expense procedures. This page keeps the current rule set and source links in one place.
Why old Indiana support summaries go stale
Indiana’s courts updated the child support rule set and schedule in 2024. The same public source trail also points to a January 1, 2024 health-care procedure change, so pre-2024 worksheet explanations can misstate how a current order should be prepared.
Use This With Other Indiana Tools
Support pages should route back into the core Indiana calculators and legal explainers.
May 14, 2024
Effective date of Indiana’s current Child Support Rules and Guidelines.
Current forms
Courts still publish the CSOW, the PTCW, and the weekly schedules alongside the calculator page.
Age 19 baseline
Indiana DCS still describes age 19 as the general termination point for current support, subject to exceptions.
Guideline checkpoints that most often matter
- Presumptive starting point: Indiana continues to treat the worksheet amount as the presumptive support figure.
- Current schedules: The official weekly support schedules still drive the basic obligation after income is combined.
- Parenting time: Indiana still uses a dedicated Parenting Time Credit Worksheet rather than burying the adjustment in generic text.
- Health-care procedures: Indiana courts flagged 2024 changes in uninsured health-care expense procedures as part of the refresh.
- Termination and adjustment: Indiana DCS still warns that emancipation of one child does not automatically reduce a multi-child order.
