What the worksheet asks for
The calculator workflow starts with the selected state, then walks through both parties’ income, assets, debts, and state-specific particulars. Countable income streams feed each party’s formula income; balances and non-automated adjustments are disclosed separately. Common categories include wages, bonuses, dividends and interest, business or company income, self-employment adjustments, existing support obligations, debts assigned by order, health insurance, child care, tuition, extraordinary expenses, and parenting time.
Sources and limits
- Uses the Kentucky Legislature KRS 403.212 child support guidelines table for combined monthly adjusted parental gross income.
- The table obligation is divided between parents in proportion to combined monthly adjusted parental gross income under KRS 403.212(5)(a).
- The statutory self-support reserve, KRS 403.2122 shared-parenting-time credit, child-care costs, health-care costs, split custody and deviations require separate Kentucky worksheet handling.
- For combined adjusted parental gross income above the uppermost table level, the court may use judicial discretion.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Kentucky court calculator?
No. It is an independent educational estimate. Courts can order a different amount when the evidence, local rules, or statutory deviation factors justify it.
Can I use the output in court?
The worksheet output is designed to be clear and printable, but each litigant is responsible for checking local filing rules and attaching any required official court forms.
