Finances usually play a huge role in many divorces. When two spouses decide to end their marriage, their finances and property will also be separated. You likely have questions about how a divorce will impact your financial future.
Kentucky law requires that marital property (generally, property that is acquired during the marriage) be divided through “equitable distribution.” Under equitable distribution, each spouse’s portion of the marital property is based on numerous factors, such as:
In addition to dividing the marital property, you may encounter other financial issues such as determining maintenance or calculating child support. We are experienced in property division and support issues, and we will work to secure a fair outcome for you.
While property and money are often big issues to be decided during the divorce process, other factors may arise, such as:
It may be tempting to try and resolve these issues privately with your spouse. Unfortunately, with the inherent emotional tension that usually accompanies divorces, resolution may not be possible on your own.
Because of these complexities, you should contact a reputable divorce attorney early in your case. Your lawyer can work with you through the process, help resolve your case if possible and represent you at trial if necessary.
Your child may be facing a matter in juvenile court for truancy or other disciplinary matters. He or she will need a prepared, experienced attorney to ensure their legal matters are resolved with their best interests in mind.
Alternatively, juvenile court may involve neglect or abuse. These serious allegations require a response immediately. If the court determines that you have neglected or abused your child, you may lose custody or visitation rights. Our attorneys can work with family services and other child protective agencies in order to fight for your parental rights.
