Following is some information on how to receive child support in Louisville, Kentucky:

• You must be eligible: You may only file for child support if you are a parent or a person who has physical custody of a child. You should seek the assistance of a knowledgeable lawyer for additional information because the laws regarding child support are complex. The court looks at the following factors when determining eligibility for child support:
  • Your income
  • The income of your ex-spouse
  • How many children you have
  • How long the children spend under the care of each parent
• Provide the necessary information: You should provide the following to the Louisville courthouse to accelerate the time it takes to obtain your first payment:
  • Non-custodial parent's name
  • Address
  • Social security number
  • Date of birth
  • Employer
  • Bank account numbers
  • Property holdings and investments

This information might be difficult to find, but you can locate it in old insurance policies, credit card or other applications, state and federal tax returns, hospital records, police records and birth certificates. In addition, you should provide copies of any existing court orders and records of payments.

• Retain skilled counsel: It is vital to your child support case that you hire an experienced and knowledgeable family law attorney. You can greatly increase your chances of obtaining child support by hiring a Louisville child support lawyer. Furthermore, an attorney can explain in detail any child custody laws that may affect your case.

If you are unable to provide the necessary information, the child support agency may still be able to locate the non-custodial parent. The agency may be able to use the name and or social security number of the non-custodial parent to locate him or her and obtain child support.
