IC 31-30-2-1
Continuing juvenile court jurisdiction
    31-30-2-1 Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), the juvenile court's jurisdiction over a delinquent child or a child in need of services and over the child's parent, guardian, or custodian continues until:
        (1) the child becomes twenty-one (21) years of age, unless the court discharges the child and the child's parent, guardian, or custodian at an earlier time; or
        (2) guardianship of the child is awarded to the department of correction.
    (b) The juvenile court may, on its own motion, after guardianship of a child is awarded to the department of correction, reinstate the court's jurisdiction for the purpose of ordering the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to participate in programs operated by or through the department of correction.
    (c) The juvenile court's jurisdiction over a parent or guardian of the estate of a child under this section continues until the parent or guardian of the estate has satisfied the financial obligation of the parent or guardian of the estate that is imposed under IC 31-40 (or IC 31-6-4-18 before its repeal).
    (d) The jurisdiction of the juvenile court over a proceeding described in IC 31-30-1-1(10) for a guardianship of the person continues until the earlier of the date that:
        (1) the juvenile court terminates the guardianship of the person; or
        (2) the child becomes:
            (A) nineteen (19) years of age, if a child who is at least eighteen (18) years of age is a full-time student in a secondary school or the equivalent level of vocational or technical training; or
            (B) eighteen (18) years of age, if clause (A) does not apply.
If the guardianship of the person continues after the child becomes the age specified in subdivision (2), the juvenile court shall transfer the guardianship of the person proceedings to a court having probate jurisdiction in the county in which the guardian of the person resides. If the juvenile court has both juvenile and probate jurisdiction, the juvenile court may transfer the guardianship of the person proceedings to the probate docket of the court.
    (e) The jurisdiction of the juvenile court to enter, modify, or enforce a support order under IC 31-40-1-5 continues during the time that the court retains jurisdiction over a guardianship of the person proceeding described in IC 31-30-1-1(10).
    (f) At any time, a juvenile court may, with the consent of a probate court, transfer to the probate court guardianship of the person proceedings and any related support order initiated in the juvenile court. As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.13. Amended by P.L.217-2001, SEC.4.
