Understanding Kentucky Divorce Law

Kentucky is a “no-fault” divorce state. As such, you do not have to prove that your spouse did anything to warrant one. You can get a divorce if you and your spouse have been living apart for at least 60 days and have no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.

Equitable Distribution of Property

Kentucky courts divide marital property according to the principle of equitable distribution. As such, the court will divide the property fairly and equitably, considering factors such as each spouse’s contributions to the marriage, economic circumstances, and earning capacity.

Child Custody and Support

Kentucky courts also consider the children’s best interests when deciding custody and visitation. Factors that the family court will consider include each parent’s ability to provide for the minor child’s needs, the relationship with each parent, and their disposition to facilitate a positive relationship between their children and the other parent.
