An Indiana appellate court held in Ashabranner v. Wilkins, Docket No. 22A01-1109-DR-411
(Indiana Court of Appeals, June 15, 2012) [For Publication] that the trial court could not consider an18-year-old daughter's income and ability to provide for herself when determining amount of child support which father was required to continue to pay. A child who is not yet emancipated is not responsible for providing for him or herself, and his or her income should not be considered by a court determining the amount of child support owed.
