Can you go to jail for not paying child support on a child over 18 years old in Indiana?
That depends on the circumstances. Indiana reserves the right to jail parents found in contempt of court for failure to pay any child support in arrears no matter the age of the child, or failure to abide by an extended support order (where support is modified by the court to continue past the child's age of emancipation, which is 19 in Indiana, recently lowered from age 21 ). In general, if no support is in arrears, Indiana child support terminates when the child reaches the age 19 although a provision remains for the "educational needs" of a child over 19 but doesn't spell out exactly what falls into that category.
What does 'payment in arrears' mean?

What happenes to child support when non-custodial parent goes to jail for anything other then child support?
Child support would stop for that period of time the parent is incarcerated unless they have some other means of legitimate income that would continue during the time they are in jail and could be diverted for that purpose. Child support obligations would resume upon their release and they would be expected to pay the amount that accumulated while they were in jail.
