Child Support Attorneys in Louisville

How is Child Support Determined in Kentucky?

In Kentucky, child support is generally set by following the Kentucky Child Support Guidelines. There is a presumption that child support can be modified whenever the amount of child support would change by 15%. This does not mean someone’s income has changed by 15% but if the amount of child support owed changes by 15%.

However, there are situations when the guidelines do not make sense, or we deviate from the guidelines - the two most common situations involve: 

• When parents’ combined gross monthly income exceeds the uppermost levels of the child support charts
• When parents share equal time with a child

One of the most stressful topics that must be agreed upon by the parents or set by a Court involves setting child support. The Attorneys at Winner Law Group LLC have approximately 20 years of experience in handling cases where the combined gross monthly income exceeds the uppermost levels of the child support chart.
