Common Divorce Issues
Divorce can be as complicated legally as it is emotionally. If you’re considering divorce, keep in mind that you’ll likely need to address multiple items before the arrangement is final, including:
Splitting Assets
In Kentucky, marital assets are typically split 50-50 in a divorce. Some circumstances merit different splits.
Inheriting Debt
In a divorce, both parties must negotiate a fair division of debts. The court can nevertheless veto parts of your agreement. Michele will represent you in these cases and, if applicable, strive to keep your spouse’s creditors from pursuing you.
Child Custody & Visitation
Kentucky law mandates that judges presume joint child custody is best. That said, if you think you deserve sole custody, you can make a case.
Child Support
Typically, the non-residential parent in a divorce pays child support according to the percentage of household income that parent’s earnings comprised before the divorce. Exceptions are possible, and Michele can navigate them with you.
Spousal Maintenance
Formerly known as alimony, these court-ordered payments require one divorcing spouse to make regular payments to the other. However, in Kentucky, achieving spousal support is rare. Michele can help guide you through the possibilities.
