Q: Does the parenting time adjustment for Kentucky count if the kids have a medicaid card through their mother?
My child support was originally set up before the law for parenting time adjustments in KY, however I saw a stipulation that if the kids have a medical card then the parenting time credit doesn't count. The card was set up through their mother so I have nothing to do with it. If I filed for an adjustment to the child support would the parenting time credit apply to me? I have them 208 days of the year so I believe it should be a 50% credit from what I can tell.
A: If the child(ren) are receiving public assistance for healthcare, the 50% reduction does not apply.
