Child Support With High-End Income

Child support is far from straightforward in cases involving high-earning parents. For those with a combined income of $180,000 or more, Kentucky’s child support guidelines no longer apply. The law requires a different analysis.

Determining an appropriate support obligation in these “off the chart” cases involves in-depth considerations on a case-by-case basis. Much depends on the standard of living established during the marriage. The party seeking child support must prove all of the requested expenses, demonstrating that they are consistent with financial expenditures during the marriage and proving the other party’s ability to pay. This task may require combing through bank records and other financial documents to paint a clear picture of the lifestyle the children were accustomed to living.
