Understanding Divorce Options in Kentucky

Kentucky is a no-fault state when it comes to divorce. This means that no one has to prove the reason for the divorce or who is to 'blame' for the dissolution.

This then leaves contested divorce and uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce means that both parties agree on the details of the divorce such as child custody, child support, alimony, marital property, etc. They don't need further input or mediation from outside sources to finalize their separation. An uncontested divorce, however, means that the two parties involved can't agree on the finer details. Therefore the court will need to step in to finalize these details for them.

The decision to separate is a difficult one to make. Whether you are merely considering making this change, or if you have already separated from your spouse, it is recommended that you consult with a skilled family law attorney in Louisville. An attorney who is familiar with how divorces are handled in Kentucky, like ours, can help walk you through the process and help you put your best foot forward in Kentucky court.
