Alimony Child Support in Indiana

Indiana law treats child support and spousal maintenance as separate obligations with distinct rules. Child support is governed by Ind. Code § 31-16-6-1 and the Indiana Child Support Guidelines, which use a formula based on parental income and parenting time to determine the amount. Spousal maintenance, under Ind. Code § 31-15-7-2, is awarded only in limited circumstances set out in the statute. The guidelines provide factors and exceptions that affect the final calculation, and the official source at https://www.in.gov/courts/rules/child-support/ contains the exact details. A verified figure of $10,000 appears in the worked example below. Use the calculator on DocketMath to estimate your own specific result.
