Louisville Divorce Attorneys

The decision to divorce is often difficult to make, particularly if children are involved. Our Louisville divorce attorneys strives to make clients as comfortable as possible in this emotionally and financially challenging time. Divorce often involves complex issues, including division of assets, property and debt, child custody and visitation, and spousal support. We know that every family is unique and our attorneys approach your unique circumstances to help your divorce proceed smoothly.

Contested or Uncontested Divorce?

Kentucky is a "no fault" divorce state, meaning that it easy to obtain a divorce so long as one party feels that the marriage is “irretrievably broken." This means that, once a party has filed for a divorce, the other party can do little to prevent the divorce process from moving forward.

In an uncontested divorce, the spouses agree to divorce and can agree to all terms of the dissolution, settling all matters of property, debt, spousal support, custody and child support. In an uncontested divorce, an attorney can draft all of the required documents and the parties can avoid going to court. Uncontested divorce can save a considerable amount of money, as only one attorney is necessary in most cases. However, uncontested divorce only works when there is no issue in dispute.

A contested divorce, on the other hand, means that the couple cannot agree to the terms of the divorce. In such cases, attorneys must litigate all of the contested issues before a judge. At our firm, our divorce attorneys are prepared to aggressively represent your interests and get what you want from divorce litigation.
