If you say he went behind your back you may have grounds to file a motion to set aside this order if it is an order, you say it is a letter is it only a demand from his lawyer or an order signed by the judge? You can file a motion to reconsider/set aside 10 days from the date of the order. You... View More

He should not be able to do that however until you file you will have a hard time enforcing your rights. More information is required or answer your question. Once a divorce is filed in Kentucky he would be prohibited from doing that. To protect your rights file for legal separation or for... View More

You can file a response and a counter-petition requesting an annulment. Impotence is probably a good ground on which to base a request for an annulment. However, strict statute of limitations typically apply in annulments. Consult with a lawyer.

If everything is agreed to then it is an uncontested divorce and there should be no reason for mediation or arbitration. If everything is agreed to, then it is only a matter of drafting the divorce agreement and having both parties sign it.

Unlike the terms of a will, the life insurance beneficiaries must be affirmatively removed/ changed in Kentucky and Generally the divorce does not effect the named beneficiaries however a probate lawyer should be consulted. If a divorce agreement mentions it it would be evidence of intent and... View More
The cop said i was at fault but I have witnesses stating it was not. I had a arrow in the left lane and the other driver blew through the red light and also didn't have her headlights on at 8:30 p.m. I didn't see her when I started to turn and she hit me.
answered on Oct 17, 2021
If you were injured you should speak with an injury lawyer. Not having insurance does not conclusively establish your negligence or fault. Having credible witnesses is very important.
I was rear ended yesterday and the driver did not speak English so no one knows if he had insurance
answered on Oct 2, 2021
Several options may be available to you. A. Try to locate the insurance on the guy that hit you, B. Check your own coverage for uninsured motorist coverage. I say definitely worth exploring if you are injured. Speak with a lawyer.

No. If a spouse in KY threatens their spouse with imminent harm such that the spouse if forced to leave their home for their safety, that spouse may seek a protective order and possibly regain access to the marital home that way. If granted, it would restrain the abusive spouse from coming near.... View More

No, it is not based on who files first in Kentucky, but rather on the parties' relative financial circumstances. The court may also consider other factors.
My husband wants to take my children and my home. He is trying to portray me as unfit.

I've been asking him to leave for two years. He doesn't work, doesn't pay any bills and refuses to leave. I'm done waiting on broken promises and arguing every single day.

You can ask him to move out by an agreement. You will not be able to evict him absent abuse/ domestic violence. You can file for divorce. The marital home, if marital property, will be subject to the equitable distribution of your assets. It may turn out that one of you will get the house, or the... View More
He initially stated he wasn't going to ask for anything, he is now stating he wants the money he has given me for the mortgage, roughly $14,000 which I obviously do not have. He gave me cash each time and the money did not always go to the mortgage nor is name is not on the house title.
answered on Mar 29, 2021
In KY this $14,000.00 would probably be viewed as follows the 14 k unless it came from his premarital account or some other non marital source would be marital property so assuming it is marital money then its only 7k. If only a portion of the 14 k was used to pay for the house then only that... View More

You can get a divorce even if you don’t know where he is. This would be a limited type of divorce that would result in each person being a separate single individual. However issues of child custody, visitation, and property would have to be reserved for a future time when he can be found and... View More

I am contemplating divorcing my husband and moving back to my home state of Florida, but I am worried he would try and take full custody of my kids. How could I get full custody?
answered on Dec 30, 2020
In Kentucky the easiest way to achieve this would be via an agreement reached in the divorce. If there is an objection, then the Court would decide based on the best interest of the children. This determination would be made at a custody hearing. The party seeking to move must have legitimate... View More
