The custodial parent theoretically has no right to waive support owed to the minor and the prevailing thought is no. However, if that agreement to waive is reached snd not challenged, it might stand up for other reasons.

The fact that she got married will not make a difference In Kentucky. It is the income of the mother that matters. If the child is over three and she is still not working you may be able to file to modify.
You should know Kentucky now has new laws for child support in a 50/50 time sharing... View More

At the same rate unless your ex challenges it. Then you’ll have to go back to court and judge will determine. Keep a low profile and you may just keep collecting it at the current pay rate.

My ex wife is on pre trial diversion for child support. I never receive hardly anything (maybe 20 a month), when she’s ordered to pay $500. She had court and I was told the judge “read the riot act” to her. What does this mean?
answered on Apr 24, 2022
That is slang for the judge told her he was going to send her to prison if she didn’t make the most of the pretrial diversion opportunity or if she committed any new crimes. It’s a stern waning not to screw up.

Yes. The purchase price should be reduced by the value of the purchasers share to avoid double dipping.

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.
My ex husband was court ordered to pay child support on our two children. I found out that he's finally going to pay it because that's the only way he can get off of probation. I'm guessing it would come to me because I have never received any type of assistance. I just don't... View More

You probably should have a family law attorney review the case and advise you how to proceed with collection.
We have shared custody of our 4 children. My ex wife does not work, has remarried, and is pregnant. My gross income is $2500 bi-weekly and I pay $250 for the children's insurance also bi-weekly.

You will need to recalculate child support with current income info ( informally at first) to see what the new amount is. It is a rather complex calculation so I’d review it carefully with a lawyer.
I have a son that is now 19. I raised him all on my own. I have tried to get child support through out the years. Havent gotten any money. Even though my son is over the age of 18 now, am I entitled to receive any of the back child support? Does it no longer matter now that he is over 18?
answered on Feb 24, 2022
No. If the child is 19, the statute of limitations has already run.
I was forced to agree to no child support, as I cannot afford an attorney to fight him in court. Would I still be able to file for it after it’s been finalized?
answered on Feb 17, 2022
Yes, if there’s a material change in circumstances or income. Child support is always modifiable.

That does not sound accurate. You might want to check with a private lawyer before you accept that.
Child support office is stating we have to pay. But we do not wish for either to pay anything.
answered on Jan 31, 2022
Yes. If you agree to no child support, no support has to be paid.
Arrearages. Resulting in lost wages and the unnecessary monthly revenue lost by reviews.

As a result I lost on average 8... View More
If I pay the child support office as much as I can to show I'm trying to get caught up, will I still go to jail for being in contempt of court? And if I can somehow pay the whole amount I'm behind could I still go to jail for missing court?

Get your documentation of incarceration together to show the judge on your court date. Pay as much as you can on the arrearage prior to the court date and you probably will not be incarcerated.
