KRS 407.5313: Costs and fees.

(1) The petitioner may not be required to pay a filing fee or other costs.

(2) If the obligee prevails, a responding tribunal of this state may assess against an

obligor filing fees, reasonable attorney's fees, other costs, and necessary travel and

other reasonable expenses incurred by the obligee and the obligee's witnesses. The

tribunal may not assess fees, costs, or expenses against the obligee or the support

enforcement agency of either the initiating or responding state or foreign country,

except as provided by other law. Attorney's fees may be taxed as costs, and may be

ordered paid directly to the attorney, who may enforce the order in the attorney's

own name. Payment of support owed to the obligee has priority over fees, costs and

expenses.

(3) The tribu nal shall order the payment of costs and reasonable attorney's fees if it

determines that the hearing was requested primarily for delay. In a proceeding under

Article 6 of this chapter, a hearing is presumed to have been requested primarily for

a delay if a registered support order is confirmed or enforced without change.
