Are you a parent in Kentucky who’s divorced or going through the process of getting a divorce? How much child support will you receive or owe?

Kentucky law provides for default child support payment amounts that depend on:

• How many children you have of this marriage,
• Any other child support payments you may owe from other marriages
• How much you and the other parent earn
• How much parenting time you are responsible for.

To accompany our comprehensive guide to a Kentucky divorce, we made a child support calculator.

It incorporates the data and logic described in Kentucky Revised Statute § 403.212 and takes into account the update added in KY. REV. STAT. § 403.2121, which modifies the guidelines to account for the ever-more-common joint-custody with equal parenting time arrangement.
