Yes, he would likely be found in contempt if he's ordered to pay and does not. You should either hire an attorney to assist you in the process. Otherwise, you will have to review both the Kentucky Rules for Family Court Practice as well as your local rules in order to ensure you file the motion for contempt/show cause motion correctly.
