Let's begin with one vital fact: YOU NEED A LAWYER. I would not consider discussing anything other than the bare bones law that applies to this case. You need a lawyer to deal with potential interstate issues and existing custody issues. The fact that a state has sought assistance in enforcing a support order does not mean the state from whom assistance is sought will also take jurisdiction over custody issues. It may but it does not have to. Parties must agree or default on answer to have jurisdiction changed in most cases. But you need a lawyer to review the current order, the violations by the father and to see what exactly is being asked of Kentucky. This response does not create a lawyer client relationship, nor may it be taken as a legal opinion. The answer is general in nature and is only intended for entertainment purposes.
