Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

In my divorce decree, it is stated that my ex husband and I alternate years in claiming the children on our taxes. I would like to know if that can be amended by me without hiring a lawyer. The children reside with me. He gets visitation every other weekend and alternate holidays. He is not providing for them nor is he providing anywhere near half their financial, physical, emotional, or mental welfare. Is there a specific form that I can request from the circuit clerk's office in order to file this motion? He is currently in arrears with child support as well. I have started the enforcement process as well as looking into having his tax refund garnished to cover the back child support.

Since there is an arrearage on child support, you have a pretty good shot at getting this tax provision modified. Some clerks have forms for pro se motions and some do not so it is best just to ask them.
