Kentucky Child Support Worksheet
Child support in Kentucky is determined under Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 403, using statutory guidelines that are intended to ensure children receive consistent and adequate financial support from both parents. Kentucky courts rely on an income-shares approach, which considers the combined income of both parents and allocates support in proportion to each parent’s earnings.
For your convenience, below is a Kentucky child support worksheet provided by Stange Law Firm, PC to help parents better understand how child support may be calculated under Kentucky law.
Kentucky Child Support Calculator
The results generated by this Kentucky child support calculator are estimates based on the financial information you enter. You may also compare results by using a calculator published by the Kentucky Division of Child Support Enforcement.
The amount of child support ultimately ordered by a Kentucky court may differ from the estimate produced by this calculator. In most cases, calculators assume that a child primarily resides with one parent and may not accurately reflect situations involving shared parenting time, joint physical custody, or split custody arrangements. Courts may also adjust child support based on additional factors such as health insurance premiums, work-related child care costs, extraordinary medical expenses, or other deviations permitted by statute.
This calculator is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. It is based on Kentucky’s statutory child support guidelines and does not account for every circumstance that may affect a child support determination. The court has final authority to set child support, and any estimate provided is not a guarantee of the amount that will be ordered. For guidance specific to your situation, it is important to speak with a qualified family law attorney.
