405.027 Court may require parent or guardian of minor defendant to pay

attorney's fees and costs.

In any proceeding within this Commonwealth wherein a minor child is a party defendant,

it shall be within the sound discretion of the court to direct that the parents or guardian of

such minor child pay all attorney's fees and costs, including but not limited to amounts

repayable under KRS 31.120, of said action as may be reasonable. This section shall not

be construed as repealing any of the laws of the Commonwealth relating to parents'

liability for the acts of their minor children, but shall be held and construed as ancillary

and supplemental thereto.
