Help obtaining Louisville Child Support

What is child support?
Child support is payment made by a noncustodial parent to assist with the costs of raising a child. In a divorce or custody case, the top priority of the court is the welfare of children. As a result, the court carefully considers many factors when determining the amount of child support.
The state of Kentucky deals harshly with any failure to pay child support. Following are some of the enforcement measures you face for not paying child support:
• Your work paycheck, unemployment paycheck, or Workers Compensation paycheck is withheld
• Your driver's or professional licenses may be denied or suspended
• Any lottery winnings will first be intercepted to pay child support
• Intercept of state or federal taxes
• If you apply for a passport, the application will be denied
While these measures may seem excessive, the court is protecting the interests of the child. If you require assistance with any issue related to child support, contact an experienced Louisville child support lawyer from De Renzo Durrett, PLLC.
How does the court determine how much child support should be paid?

• How much you earn
