Farmer Seeks Reduced Child Support

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Former Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer is seeking to have the amount of his child support payment reduced. Farmer says he's scheduled for surgery this month and will be incapacitated for at least two months. Farmer's lawyer said in May that Farmer hasn't been employed since his term expired January 1st. Rebecca Farmer filed for divorce in April 2011, and the marriage was dissolved last month. On July 18th, Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate ruled in favor of National Bank of Manchester in its home foreclosure case against Richie and Rebecca Farmer for $317,929, plus interest, due on a loan made in October 2004. The order directs that their house in Frankfort be sold at a master commissioner's sale, but no date has been set yet.
