Whether a parent is establishing paternity, getting divorced, or
dealing with post-dissolution matters, they want to know how much
they will have to pay or how much they will receive in child
support.
Understandably, parents want to know that information, and
parents need to be aware of some major changes to the Indiana Child
Support Guidelines ("Guidelines") which became effective
on January 1, 2024.
How Much Will I Have to Pay in Child Support?
The Indiana Child Support Guideline changes are as follows:
Removal of the 6% Rule
The Guidelines no longer implement the 6% rule for uninsured
health care expenses. The rule was outdated, and it required
extensive record-keeping by the parents. Now, parents will share
responsibility for uninsured healthcare expenses in proportion to
their income shares unless otherwise agreed upon.
