Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

I am taking my ex wife to court for child support modification, pro se. She retained an attorney and now concedes my daughters emancipation is valid but wants support and secondary educational costs to be based off of our current financial situation. She also wants me to pay part of her attorney fees. She is a clinical therapist who just closed her own practice of several years and holds a Master Degree from Loyola. I am a logistics coordinator and hold an A.A. Degree from a community college. Please advise. Her lawyer asked for a continuance in writing which is for our first court appearance which is tomorrow 11/20. How do i go about asking that any structured payments be mad based off of earning capacity? I also sent her all of my documentation required when filing and she had 10 days to reciprocate but never did. SHe has 3 years of tax returns and all of the other information required on y finances. Shouldn't she have reciprocated? 11/17 would have been 10 days since she received my documentation.

This forum is for general questions, rather than case specific issues. If your daughter is emancipated, there is no child support. Look at the local rules for Lake County ( assuming that your case is in Lake County), to learn about the exchange of documents, etc. You are at a decided disadvantage if she has an attorney, you should consider hiring counsel.
