Lexington, KY asked in Child Support and Divorce for Kentucky

Q: Yes I have a question about renegotiating a divorce settlement.

When we divorced we agreed to joint custody and every other year we would take turns claiming g the federal tax credit for the child. Myex is now wanting to renegotiate child support. Which I don't pay because we have joint custody and she agreed to let me know about his expenses as they arose and I would provide payment for them as needed. She had very rarely provided information when he needs something unless it was after the fact. She also makes 30k a year more than I do. She recieved a significant raise along with a promotion at work after the divorce. Before the divorce we were making approximately equal incomes. Is it possible to request alimony in a renegotiation?

A: No. It is not possible to renegotiate alimony or maintenance. However, you could make a motion for 50/50 p arenting time with the child and to modify child support since under the new guidelines she could be paying you support.
