What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana

I have 3 children I'm paying child support for. Two are in college and 1 is in high school. The oldest just turned 21. I've heard child support stops when the child turns 21 in Indiana. I plan to continue paying my portion of college costs but would like to reduce the child support payments to the exwife. I've run the Indiana child support calculator 2 ways and it makes ~$20/week difference if my 21 year old child is included or not. When I list my 21 year old child as engaged in post secondary education the worksheet says my contribution is $0 but if I completely remove my child from the worksheet the child support amount is decreased by $20. Do I need to include my 21 year old college student in the Child Support Calculation Worksheet?
