Indiana is one of the few states that runs its child support guidelines on combined weekly income rather than monthly or annual figures, using a 911-row schedule under the Indiana Child Support Rules and Guidelines. The state’s Parenting Time Credit is built from Table PT and a dedicated worksheet, and it averages across multiple children when more than one child is involved.
