Make the Divorce Decisions That Are Right for You

Your Attorney Can Guide You Through the Divorce Process
What are your rights to marital property? How are child custody decisions made? How can you be sure that you know all of your options and that you make the decisions that are right for you and your family? An experienced divorce lawyer can help.
- When it comes to divorce (dissolution of marriage), Kentucky is a no-fault state. That means the person filing does not have to name grounds for the divorce. In Ohio, the grounds — adultery, alcohol abuse or irreconcilable differences, for example — must be stated.
- How should you divide your marital assets? Property division and asset protection can be contentious issues in a divorce, especially in high net worth divorces. Your lawyer will help you go through all marital assets, assess each spouse's contributions to the marital assets and help you determine what is a fair division. Assets include pensions, IRAs, real estate, cars, furniture, etc.
- If there are minor children, decisions need to be made about child custody, visitation and parenting roles.
- In a contested divorce or uncontested divorce, you will want to be sure that the final settlement and documentation are fair.
