Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
Child support arrearages
I am supposed to pay $5000.00 within two weeks b/c I owe child support that I never received any papers on stating that I had to pay anything at this time. I am still married to her and she turned in papers to the child support based on the income I made when I owned my own business. Now I make $8.00 an hour and have to come up with this money immediately. Is this legal? Can I make payments weekly for the back-support I owe or is this all based on the judges decision?

Re: Child support arrearages
With this much money at stake, you may want to consult an attorney and see if there might be a procedural error that can allow your to challenge the previous order, though there is a slim chance of it.
You need to start making payments right away - as much as you can - to show good faith. Then ask the prosecutor and judge for leniency.
