Kentucky Child Support Lawyer

Overview of Kentucky Child Support Law

The following are some of the key provisions of Kentucky child support law:

• Who is responsible for child support? In Kentucky, both parents are responsible for supporting their children, regardless of whether they are married or not. However, the amount of child support that each parent pays will depend on a number of factors, such as the parents’ incomes, the number of children, and the parents’ expenses.

• How much child support is awarded? The amount of child support awarded in Kentucky will vary depending on the specific circumstances of each case. However, the court will typically consider the factors listed above when determining the amount of child support.

• How long does child support last? Child support in Kentucky can be awarded for a temporary or permanent period of time. Temporary child support is typically awarded for a shorter period of time, while permanent child support is awarded for a longer period of time.

If you are considering child support in Kentucky, it is important to speak with an experienced child support attorney. An attorney can help you understand your legal options and protect the best interests of your children.
