Once a member of our program, either the custodial or non-custodial parent may request a review of the child support order. Indiana courts have generally not allowed gifts to a child to take the place of child support. Paying through the Clerk will ensure an accurate record of your payments. Payments should always clearly identify the case number and for whom the payment is made. Then an action to establish paternity must be commenced.
Paternity is fatherhood.
Both parents and the child deserve an opportunity to develop, enjoy and grow in this relationship. Both parents have the right to know and the responsibility to support their own son or daughter. It is important to know who we are. Your child has the right to the sense of belonging that comes from knowing both parents. The law requires both parents to support their children.
