Kentucky Divorce.

In Kentucky there is a no fault based divorce.  This divorce means that either one of the spouses in the marriage can say that the marriage is broken or there will be no reconciliation between the two.  To file for a divorce in Kentucky you must have lived and been a resident of the state for at least 180 days.  Also to file for divorce in Kentucky you must have lived apart from your spouse for 60 days, and for the divorce to even be granted.  This shows that the marriage is broken.  It is suggested even though that couples that have lived apart for the 60 days should still seek a marriage counselor.  It is important that if you have not lived apart for 60 days and still in the same home, to see a marriage counselor.  A counselor can help the entire family, especially if kids are involved it is so important for families to at least tolerate each other and get along, through the divorce process.  Again if the marriage consist of just fighting and the counselor sees that its best if you do live apart and file for divorce, for it being better on all, but there is always a chance in saving a marriage.  People forget about what made them love each other in the first place, sometimes just stepping back for a moment, and evaluating the situation can help, at least for both couples in the divorce to get a long. The divorce process in Kentucky starts when one of the spouses files for the divorce, also referred to as a complaint for dissolution of marriage in Kentucky.  The divorce must be filed with the Circuit Court in Kentucky.  The divorce also must be filed in the county that both of you reside.  When the divorce has been filed then the divorce papers will be served if the other spouse does not know, and given a timely manner to respond to the divorce.  In the state of Kentucky you can also file for temporary assistance from the courts for help with child support and child custody, especially if the divorce is going to be long and drawn out.  Some divorces will take a bit more time when it comes to children and dividing debt, not all couples get along and fight, again why a marriage councilor is important, wither helping with the divorce process or regaining each other in the marriage. If both couples in the divorce are in agreement from, property division, debt dividing, child custody, and child support then a more simple divorce procedure can take place.  This is only available to couples that are getting along and agreeing with everything in the divorce, there can be no disagreement for a couple to file for a written separation agreement.  If there is any argument then the divorce can not take place with the written separation.  Once the written separation for a divorce has been agreed upon it then will become part of the divorce in Kentucky.
