David A. Turner v. Debbie L. Turner, 2013 Ind. App. LEXIS 103

Married in 1989; one child, Cody (born March 1993).
Petition for dissolution filed November 1998; final dissolution decree entered August 14, 2000.
Decree provided $144/week child support until child reaches 21, with boilerplate termination terms.
On July 12, 2012, Father petitioned to terminate child support under July 1, 2012 amendment to Indiana Code § 31-16-6-6.
Trial court held August 6, 2012 that the dissolution decree controlled and denied termination.
Indiana Court of Appeals reverses and remands, holding amended statute governs termination regardless of decree language.
