Reasons for Divorce in the State of Kentucky
The irretrievable breakdown of the marriage is the only legitimate reason for divorce recognizable in the State of Kentucky.
Parenting Issues
There are two options for decision-making concerning child custody: either the parents must decide who will get sole or joint custody, or the court will make the decision for them. Joint custody gives the parent the authority to make decisions concerning the child’s well-being; however, it does not mean that each parent will spend 50% of the time with the child.
The court will take into consideration both the desire and ability of the parents to take care of the child, as well as the child’s wish and their best interests. The mental and physical health of both parents is also taken into consideration.
Child Support
According to the guidelines provided by state legislation, the non-custodial parent must pay child support until the child comes of age. The payments may be prolonged until the child graduates from high school. The amount of the support is calculated according to the parents’ gross incomes and child-related expenses.
Filing Fees
Remember to ask your county’s court officer about filing fees, since our fee excludes court filing fees — which differ from county to county.
