Fayetteville, NC asked in Family Law and Child Support for Kentucky

Q: CS order is based on NC what state guidelines will the modified order be issued from, VA or KY?

My ex-husband and I were stationed in NC and that is where our CS order was issued. He has moved to Ft Lee, VA and I am in Ft Campbell, Kentucky. My case worker recommended moving my order to KY. If I do that, which guidelines will the modified order be based on VA where he lives or KY guidelines where I live? Also, he now lives in on base housing how does that effect the order? I am currently deployed, do I have to wait until my deployment is complete to submit a request for modification or can I get a lawyer and work it, while I am down range?

A: Child support will likely be based on the state where he is now located, although if you are in Kentucky, I would highly recommend you transferring it there rather than Va. You do not have to wait until after your deployment.
