Does my husband have to pay child support if we are separated?
Legally, you are not required to make child support payments to your spouse unless the court orders the payments. Parents are obligated to support their children, though. After the divorce paperwork is filed, and if you two cannot agree on support payments, the court may order you to pay temporary or permanent support.
Is there a statute of limitations on back child support in Indiana?
Indiana’s Statute of Limitations on Back Child Support Payments (Arrears) Indiana limits enforcement of child support orders to 10 years after the child turns 18 years old or the date of emancipation, whichever is earlier.
Can you get a tax refund if you owe back child support?
If your state child support enforcement office has reported your overdue child support to the Treasury Department, the IRS will take your tax refund to cover the arrears (often called a tax refund seizure). The IRS will then give the money to the appropriate child support agency.
