Key people. Newman's Own is a food company founded by actor Paul Newman and author A.E. Hotchner in 1982. The company gives 100% of the after-tax profits from the sale of its products to Newman's Own Foundation (a private non-profit foundation) which in turn, gives the money to various educational and charitable organizations.
Under the new law, a parent paying child support may modify their order to terminate support for a child once the child reaches age 19. This change puts Indiana in line with surrounding states that have used age 18 or 19 as the age of majority for some time now.
We found laws in 10 states that permit courts to order a parent to pay some portion of a child's post-secondary educational expenses. And two others extend the age of majority to a child's 21st birthday for child support purposes, thus permitting support orders to cover any child up to that age. Outside of these states, courts have issued conflicting rulings on the authority of judges to order child support payments after the age of majority. For example, judges in New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, and South Carolina have found this authority in those states' general child support laws.
