Most likely until they get a new job earning a comparable salary. According to Kentucky state law:

"If a parent is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed, child support shall be calculated based on a determination of potential income. Potential income shall be determined based upon employment potential and probable earnings level based on the obligor's or obligee's recent work history, occupational qualifications, and prevailing job opportunities and earnings levels in the community."

In other words, if you quit your job, your child support will continue based on your salary before you quit. If you get a new job that pays significantly less, the court may decide that you have a higher potential income than what you're making and order the child support amount to stay the same.

Also remember that the minimum amount of child support in Kentucky is $60 per month. So you will always have to pay at least $60 per month in child support, regardless of circumstances.
