Indiana has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education.
Venue
Venue lies in the county where either the petitioner of the divorce in Indiana or the respondent resides.
Mediation
Whenever the court issues an order regarding the dissolution of marriage, the court shall determine whether the proceeding should be referred to mediation. In making this determination the court shall consider the ability of the parties to pay for the mediation services, and whether mediation is appropriate in helping the parties resolve their disputes. Prior to or during divorce proceedings in Indiana, the parties may choose to submit any or all of their issues to mediation so that they may proceed in court on an uncontested basis.
