Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 3.  (a) The obligation of a person to pay child support arrearages does not terminate when the person's duty to support a child ceases under IC 31-16-6-6 (or IC 31-1-11.5-12(e) before its repeal). The statutes applicable to the collection of child support obligations are applicable to the collection of child support arrearages described in this section.

(b) The court, upon request of a person or an agency entitled to receive child support payments, may issue an order that contains any of the following:

(1) A determination of the amount of child support arrearage due to a person or an agency entitled to receive child support payments.

(2) An order directing a person to pay the child support arrearage.

(3) The schedule and other terms on which a person is to pay a child support arrearage.

(4) Any other provision that the court determines to be appropriate.

An order issued under this subsection is enforceable to the same extent as an order or award in a child support decree.
