Board of Zoning Appeals

The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) is part of the legal structure provided to fulfill the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.  If it were possible to write a Zoning Ordinance that, while meeting the needs of the community, would provide the remedy for every possible situation arising from its enforcement, there would be little reason for the Board.  That, however, is unachievable.  If the zoning function is to be fair, responsible and protective of individual's rights and community welfare, there must be a Board of Zoning Appeals to grant relief to citizens in special or unusual situations affecting a specific parcel of land.  This the Board must accomplish with wisdom and good judgment so that the spirit of the Zoning Ordinance is preserved.  The Board conducts public hearings and renders final decisions on the following types of Appeals:  Variance of Standards; Variance of Use; and Special Use - as listed/specified in the Zoning Ordinances.  An appeal from a decision of the BZA is made through the courts.

Bad Checks

In Delaware County, Merchants & individual citizens lose thousands of dollars every year because of bad checks. Consumers share in these losses through higher prices. The Delaware Prosecutor's Office utilizes the "Corrective Solutions" Check Enforcement Program  to help Merchants and Consumers alike track down bad check writers, collect and return the money to the victim, and deter future offenses.  Along with benefiting the Merchants and Consumers, this program is designed to remove some of the load from the overburdened local police and the courts. This program is for anyone who has received a bad check in Delaware County, be that a large business, a small business, or an individual. This program provides new avenues to obtain restitution, to protect the public, and to seek justice.

Child Support Enforcement Methods

The main purpose of the Child Support Enforcement Program is to make sure that child support payments are made regularly and in the correct amount. When the other parent doesn't pay the whole amount, or doesn't pay at all, enforcement action is required.

In reviewing the file to determine the best method of enforcement, the Family Support Division's first concern is establishing a regular payment plan for ongoing support. Collection of arrearages is the secondary concern. Picking the best method of enforcement is based on all the information about your case, such as past payment history, the date when the last payment was received, where the other parent is located, how much money he/she makes and what kind of assets he/she has.

The Family Support Division will try to get the other parent to pay voluntarily. If they are unable to do so, options are available, including:

Contempt of Court - If the court finds that a person is delinquent in the payment of child support as a result of an intentional violation of an order for support, the court may find the person in contempt of court. As a result of this finding, the Court has the authority to commit the person to jail. While this is a civil and not a criminal proceeding, and does not result in a conviction, the threat of incarceration often operates as a strong incentive to pay the ordered support.

Income Withholding Orders - As required by Indiana law, the Child Support Division will seek to obtain a income withholding order to withhold child support from the paying parent's wages. The paying parent will always be required to report to our office within 48 Hours of any change in address or employment.

Tax Intercept - Anyone who has made application for our program is eligible for the tax intercept program so long as the arrearage requirements are met.  The Tax Intercept Program authorizes the interception of federal and state income tax refunds and lottery winnings of the delinquent parent. The state will retain a minimal fee, never greater than $25, for an intercepted tax refund.

Please be advised that there is no guarantee that this money will be received by the custodial parent. This office does not have the ability to check and see if a tax return was filed by the non-custodial parent nor can we make them file a tax return. Further this office is unable to give out any tax information due to Federal Regulations.

Interstate Enforcement - The Child Support Division will go across state lines to request the enforcement of child support orders in another state when the child lives in Delaware County. Full cooperation and assistance is offered to other states, who are strongly encouraged to provide reciprocal enforcement of child support orders.

Professional and Driver's License Suspension - Under Indiana Code § 12-17-2-34(C), if the non-custodial parent is delinquent in the payment of child support by at least $2,000 or has a three (3) month child support arrearage, his/her driver's license can be suspended.

Under Indiana Code § 31-1-11.5-13(k), when a court finds that a non-custodial parent who is an attorney, licensed teacher, or practitioner is delinquent in the payment of child support as a result of an intentional violation of a child support order, the court shall issue an order to the board regulating the practice of the person's profession, requiring suspension or prohibiting the board from issuing a license.

Criminal Charges - The Child Support Division will make every effort to exhaust all civil remedies available to us in order to enforce and collect the child support arrearage. If this is unsuccessful, criminal charges may be appropriate. Indiana Code § 35-46-1-5 provides that a person who knowingly or intentionally fails to provide support to a dependent commits Non-Support of a Dependent Child, a Level 6 Felony. However, it is a Level 5 Felony if the person has a previous conviction for non-support of a dependent child. A Level 6 Felony is punishable by up to 2.5 years imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $10,000. A Level 5 Felony is punishable by up to six (6) years imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $10,000.  The sentence in such cases depends on the facts of that particular case; however, defendants are typically placed on probation under detailed terms, including, of course, the requirement that they pay current support as well as an amount toward the support arrearage. If a Defendant fails to abide by the terms of probation, that defendant may serve time in the Delaware County Jail or the Indiana Department of Corrections.  It is a defense to the crime of Non-support of a Dependent that the person was unable to provide support.

Car Liens - If the non-custodial parent owes $1000 or more, the state will submit their name to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to place a lien on any vehicle that he or she may purchase. This means they cannot sell the vehicle without the profit going toward back child support. Some vehicles may be sold at auction to pay the back support. Again is not guaranteed that any money will be collected.

Credit Bureaus - If the non-custodial parent owes $1000 or more, this office may also submit their name to credit bureaus around the country. This would mean that if they try to make a large purchase such as a house or car, their credit rating will show that they owe back child support. Most likely, they will be declined for a loan; however, we cannot guarantee it.

Community Wellness

Dimensions of Wellness

What does wellness mean to you? Wellness is more than being free from illness. Wellness is a dynamic process of change and growth. There are many interrelated dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, and occupational. Each dimension is equally vital in the pursuit of optimum health.

The Physical Dimension of Wellness for an adult includes all aspects of keeping your body functioning at its maximum capacity over the entire lifespan; delaying the onset of disease or dysfunction until the last stages of life is the ultimate goal. Exercise, nutrition, weight management, self-care habits, stress reduction, sleep, and prevention behaviors all contribute to keeping the body moving adequately to fulfill its daily requirements. Physical wellness enables us to remain independent and stay fully engaged in a movement oriented, lifestyle integrating social, vocational, and environmental tasks.

The Intellectual Dimension

Intellectual wellness for adults involves embracing lifetime learning. The realization that learning doesn't end once you have completed a formal education is key to growing and changing in order to continually respond to the world around us. Maintaining a sense of wonder and curiosity and staying intellectually stimulated helps sustain a vital existence long into the lifespan. There is a constant human need and desire to be creative and innovative.  Also, a constant need to explore new and exciting subjects to expand our collective knowledge of our environment and of the unknown.  Finding a way to express these qualities is life affirming. Using knowledge effectively in all aspects in your life, with friends or family, in work or volunteer efforts is a never ending process.  An intellectually mature person seeks to discover and understand many divergent points of view, even if they conflict, in order to develop an informed personal point of view.  Acquiring new skills, developing new ideas, having the ability to interpret and articulate what you think about what you've learned contributes to being intellectually well.

The Social Dimension

The social dimension for adults includes being able to create and sustain relationships with, family, friends, peers, and acquaintances over time. Developing appropriate levels of intimacy within those relationships is key for establishing mutual nurturing, feelings of support, camaraderie, and friendship. These are the things that sustain us through life, in good times, and bad. Exhibiting an awareness that relationships are dynamic and changing things, that many interests are involved and that successful relationships often call for compromise can help establish trust in a mutual benefit, a ground stone of intimacy. Having the ability to communicate well, address issues that invariably arise within relationships and being able to work through them with friends, family, or significant others represents maturing social behavior.   Accepting and giving support, nurturing others as well as letting other people support and care for you can also demonstrate social maturity. Also, realizing that there is a legitimate need for fun and leisure time to reconnect with people, recharge the psyche, and invigorate the spirit is very important for our social well-being.

The Emotional Dimension

Emotional Wellness for adults includes experiencing and expressing a wide range of feelings, developing abilities to cope with life's occurrences through giving and receiving support and learning to trust and rely on one's ability to deal with any situation. Emotional maturity allows us to develop meaningful connections with other beings and to acknowledge a level of interdependence. Emotional balance allows for diverse reactions to life events while maintaining an ability to function within cultural societies. Emotional wellness enables us to live fully engaged lives that can be shared intimately with others who are important to us.

The Occupational  Dimension 

Occupational Wellness for adults includes being able to identify your skills, abilities, and interests in order to incorporate them into your life's work. Being willing to continually learn and explore many career options keeps you flexible and able to respond to different economic cycles.  Becoming a lifelong learner opens new possibilities for finding talents, interests, and passions that may develop into a career. Being able to work at a job that you feel passionate about enables you to obtain a higher job satisfaction.  Putting your skills and abilities to use, you gain a sense of purpose and meaning and enrich your life. An occupationally mature person seeks to find a healthy balance between social and work life and has examined many different interpretations of success to define what it may mean for him or herself.  An occupationally well person sets goals and outlines ways to attain them.

How to modify amount of child support

Before a court can modify your child support order, you must show that one of the following conditions is met:

• There has been a substantial and continuing change of circumstances which renders the existing order unreasonable
• The order has not been modified for at least one year and the amount of support which would be required now by the Indiana Child Support Guidelines is at least 20% higher or 20% lower than the amount of the existing order.

If you know the other parent's income, you may use the Indiana Supreme Court's Child Support Calculator to compute what child support should be in your case.

If you decide to seek a modification of the current court order, you may:

• Contact an attorney of your choice to assist you in filing a petition to modify
• File your own petition to modify support in the proper court
• If you are a participant on the Title IV-D Program, contact our office to come in and sign a petition for modification.

If you request our office file a petition for modification, we will:  

• Conduct an impartial review of what child support should be, using the parties' present circumstances and the Indiana Child Support Guidelines.
• If we believe an increase or decrease in child support is warranted, we will file a petition to modify support and ask the Court to set a hearing. You and the other party will receive a copy of our petition and be notified of the court date.
• If the support does not increase or decrease by 20%, you will be notified by letter that the modification has been denied.
