This is the complete child support guideline chart and the child support statute on how to use it. It is made to be used with the child support guideline worksheet on the next page and it should be used with the directions on the previous child support page. You will need to use these figures to calculate child support for the state of Kentucky. The chart is current as of January 31 2001. There have been very little or few changes ever made to the child support chart. However the powers and ability to collect child support have been greatly increased. We show you how people are collecting and avoiding support today anyway. The chart has been essentially unchanged since 1988 and it is similar to other states. Our Manual shows the differences for most of the states.
If you are calculating child support remember the issue of jurisdiction. You should not use this chart if the non custodial parent lives in another state and the child is in Kentucky. KRS 454.220 states that Kentucky can't collect child support on the out of state dad. The child support case should instead be sent to the father's home state and collected there. The noncustodial parent can agree to this amount and Kentucky jurisdiction. The amount of support will be similar in all the states. But each state has its own chart and uses different factors and rules. If you are a non custodial father and someone is trying to make you pay support they have to sue you in your home state to enforce child support. If you agree to pay support while you are being sued in another state you waive the issue of jurisdiction and you will continue to be in for a "home town" game where the "visiting team" may have a hard time.
