How to Get Kentucky Child Support on Your Own

If you want to get Kentucky child support on your own, you have a few options. Here are some methods for pursuing the child support payments by yourself.

1. Talk to Your Ex-partner

It's not always possible, but if you have a good relationship with your ex-partner, you can try talking to them about the situation. Let your partner know that you haven't been receiving your payments and see how they react. It is very possible that they aren't aware of the payment issue, and that some sort of internet or paperwork problem caused the payments to get rejected. It could also be that your ex had something change with their finances - in which case you could work through the issue directly with them.

2. Reach Out to the Kentucky Division of Child Support Enforcement

If you need to escalate matters, you can reach out to the Kentucky Division of Child Support Enforcement. You can reach out to the agency by calling them at 800-248-1163. When you call the agency, make sure to explain to the staff member right away that you have a child support payment issue that you believe need to be enforced. You should then be connected with the appropriate department or officer.

3. Take Matters to Court

It might be that things have progressed to the point where you believe you need to take immediate legal action. If this is the case, you can file a motion for contempt of court for your missed Kentucky child support payments.
