A: Depending on how long the child has been living in Kentucky, Dad should consider hiring a lawyer in California to file a motion to transfer venue to Kentucky so he can seek modification of custody/visitation orders. He can then address the support. Once the case is transferred to Kentucky, he will no longer need counsel here in California.
