Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

Yes - they are and actual there are three (3) separate and distinct issues regarding children in Kentucky: 1) custody, 2) timeshare, and 3) child support. So long as a parent retains parental rights, it does not matter whether they have sole custody, joint custody or no custody - child support will be awarded.

Also, so long as a parent retains parental rights, they also will have timeshare. They may have the child most of the time, least of the time, or roughly equal time with the other parent. Except in roughly equal timeshare, the parent with the child most of the time will receive child support. In roughly equal timeshare situations, the parent making the least money will receive child support and most courts modify it because of the evenness of the timeshare. However, there is no uniformity in how it gets modified.
