(1) the nature, extent, amount, and duration of current payments
under a registered support order;
(2) the computation and payment of arrearages and accrual of
interest on the arrearages under the support order; and

support order.
(b) In a proceeding for arrears under a registered support order, the
statute of limitation of Indiana or of the issuing state or foreign country,
whichever is longer, applies.
(c) A responding Indiana tribunal shall apply the procedures and
remedies of Indiana to enforce current support and collect arrears and

an Indiana tribunal shall prospectively apply the law of the state or
foreign country issuing the controlling order, including its law on
interest on arrears, on current and future support, and on consolidated
arrears.
