Child support modification and enforcement are essential legal tools in Indiana to ensure that child support orders remain fair and are fully met. Life changes, such as shifts in income, parenting time, or unexpected expenses, often require adjusting child support amounts. Meanwhile, child support enforcement becomes critical when one parent consistently fails to meet their support obligations. If you are owed child support and the other parent is avoiding payment, Indiana law provides enforcement options to help secure the support your child is entitled to receive.
For child support modification, Indiana requires that the parent prove a substantial and ongoing change in circumstances to approve a new support amount. For enforcement, however, parents who are owed back child support can take legal action to compel payments. These enforcement actions include wage garnishment, tax refund interception, license suspension, and even court fines or jail time for repeat offenders. Enforcement aims to hold the non-paying parent accountable and ensure that court-ordered child support payments are met.
Navigating these processes alone can be challenging. An experienced Indiana child support modification and enforcement attorney can assist with filing the necessary motions, gathering evidence, and advocating on your behalf in court.
