Kentucky Child Support Questions & Answers
Q: Can my girlfriend's parents keep us apart when she's having a kid and I'm the father?
Answered on Oct 15, 2018
You can have your parents file a petition for you for custody when the child is born and set up a visitation schedule between you and the child but they can prevent you from seeing their daughter.
Q: Can you ask that grandparents be excluded and dismissed if they are manipulating custody orders??
If you can prove grandparents are manipulating the orders, you can probably prevail.
Q: Grandparents alienating situation
Answered on Oct 13, 2018
You can’t really bar the grandparents from communicating with the son but you can show they are manipulating him to pursue custody for their agenda, not his. Custody visitation and child support are always modifiable so you need to be able to show that equal time is NOT in the best interests of the child.
Q: I'm on SSI and child support and the judge told me Friday that i still have to pay 60 dollars can any one help me please
Sixty dollars per month is as low as it goes statutorily. I’d make plans to pay it.
Q: How can my boyfriend be arrested for a child support warrent, when he had "custody of kids the whole time
Someone probably neglected to tell child support that fact when they were taking the warrant for his arrest. He needs a lawyer ASAP.

Q: Have a few questions about a potential custody case. Unmarried father just wanting to know what rights I have.
Answered on Sep 24, 2018
1) Let her go and wait to see if she pursues anything against you.
2). File your own petition to establish paternity and custody and seek share parenting.
3). Really depends on whether you want a relationship with the child.
Q: I want my son father to pay child support for the 14 years he's been here
Not likely under Kentucky law. Child support will run from the time you file for it but it is too late to recoup any arrearage.
Q: If the mother of my child is on government assistance, and i'm not, is it possible for me to get custody of my child?
Answered on Sep 19, 2018
The fact that she is on government assistance alone is not sufficient for you to get custody, but if she has been withholding the child, you should file a motion for custody and/or parenting time.
Q: My friend was told by this girl in Kentucky that he was the father of her baby. She did not list him as the father on
He can go to the County Attorney in his county and request a DNA test or he can file an action against her and get the Court to order it.
Q: Its showing on the child support website that my kids dad was located but that has been since may 2017..
If you’re going through the state using UIFSA, it’s a very slow and arduous process.
Q: What is the chances of him pulling 6 months over child support? He has been in jail for 51 days when he goes to court.
If he hasn’t paid support in a year, I’d guess he has 129 days left to serve.

It will be difficult to have the contempt overturned but if you comply with the judges order, you can likely have visitation reinstated.

Q: My husband hasn't seen his son in the past 11 years. She stopped child support then but just filed for it again.
He should file a motion under the new statute for equal parenting time with the child. A lot has changed in the past 12 years.
