Re: child support
Under the standard guidelines in Kentucky, you only pay child support until the child is the earlier of either 19 years of age or a high school graduate. So, unless your child is under age 18 and has graduated, you should no longer be obligated to pay support. A settlement agreement could have been entered into that differs from this, and if so, then it controls.
If the orders of the court are not specific, then you should put a motion on to end child support.
