Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 406

(1) The determination of paternity under the provisions of KRS 406.021(1) shall be

commenced within eighteen (18) years after the birth, miscarriage or stillbirth of a

child. However, in such cases, liability for child support shall not predate the

initiation of action taken to determine paternity as set forth in KRS 406.021 if the

action is taken two (2) years or more from the date of birth.

(2) Any person for whom paternity has not yet been established and who had not

reached eighteen (18) years of age as of August 16, 1984, including those persons

for whom a paternity action was brought but dismissed because a statute of

limitations of less than eighteen (18) years was then in effect, may bring an action to

establish paternity.
