Kentucky sets its child support table under KRS 403.212(9), a 301-row income-shares schedule, and layers a shared-parenting credit on top under KRS 403.2122 once a parent crosses an 88-day threshold, using the current 2024 statutory day-count chart. This calculator has been verified to the cent against the Cabinet for Health and Family Services’ own calculator.
