Where do I found out about child support hearings in KY ?

Question

My parents divorced when I was 5 and my brother was 3. My father rarely paid child support to my mother. I'm 24 now. Recently, my father was taken to court by whatever local gov't prosecutes parents who don't pay. My mother (supposedly) still hasn't seen much of the money that is owed to her ($15000 +).
Where do I find out about a.) what happened during the proceedings, b.) what has happened since, and c.) what are some of the recourses that can be taken to ensure that he does pay and, if not, what actions can be taken against him ?

Answer 1

chfs.ky.gov

There you are.

Answer 2

You can contact the Department of Human Resources in KY. You can also contact the Department of Family and Children Services. The Department of Family and Children Services usually goes after absent parents because they are the facility that handles Medicaid and Welfare. Try those places and see what you find. I live in Georgia and those were the two departments that I visited and got answers to every question I had to prosecute my ex-husband who owes 6,000+. Good Luck.

Answer 3

You can go to the clerks office in the courthouse and request the file. Your mom will have to come with you or they won't release it. Every court document will be in the file.
In Washington state, when a child support case goes unpaid, we hand it over to the Department of Social and Health Services. (DSHS) and they find the payer and garnish wages, tax returns etc.

Answer 4

Call the family court division of whatever county he was in. You can also go down there and look at the documents - they are all a matter of public record and can be viewed by anyone at any time.

Answer 5

You'll have to talk to the people at the court house where you live. they will give you any information that they can.........hope you find out!!!!.....Good luck!!!!
