Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

One Child, Two Parents, Three States, and No Set Amount

In 1989, the biological father of my now 14-year old daughter voluntarily acknowledged paternity. The agreed order filed in district court stated that ''a military allotment would be provided for the support of the minor child herein,'' as well as medical coverage. There is no set amount in the order because at the time it was entered, her father had no idea how much it would be. In 1992, he decided not to re-up; he has since married and moved to Georgia. I have since married and moved to Florida. I have not received a single penny towards child support from my daughter's father since October, 1992, at which time the amount of the allotment was $292.50. My question is this: what legal steps will I have to take in order to try to collect on the child support he hasn't paid over the past 10 years? Will I have to start all over with a new order?

I would suggest that you start with your local Title IV D child support enforcement office, which in most places is affiliated with the county attorney's office.

You will probably have to start a new child support proceeding in the county where you live.

Good luck.
