Louisville Child Support Attorney

Committed to Promoting You and Your Child’s Best Interests

When a couple gets divorced, proceedings can sometimes deteriorate into a heated and emotional contest between spouses. When this happens, it help for the spouses to refocus their perspective away from the animosity brought up by the divorce, and onto the love they have their children. In many cases, recognizing child’s inherent love for both parents can help remind spouses about what’s important.

The support, affection, and care of a parent is important to a child.

Factors Affecting Child Support Determinations

Under Kentucky law, both parents have a duty to provide their child with adequate support to ensure their basic needs are taken care of. When one parent has physical custody over a child (custodial parent) they are presumably fulfilling their duty to the child by providing them with food, shelter, and guidance. The noncustodial parent can fulfill their duty to support their child in the form of financial aid. An order for child support aims to give a child the best chance of being in a stable and health environment as they grow up.

Kentucky courts will consider the following factors when deciding issues of child support:

• The number of children between the parents
• The respective income levels of each parent
• The child’s medical needs
• Each parent’s own extraordinary needs
• The independent financial resources of a child
