I got a letter today stating my husband’s lawyer has a motion set for trial for my divorce in about 2 weeks. I’ve been having to take my time because I can’t afford a lawyer or find one who will accept some kind of payment plan so I’m assuming because there’s been no movement on my end... View More

Yes. It is normal, although you despersttt ER Ky need your own lawyer…..
We aren't looking to go into court over any assets or the kids. We just want to get divorced so we can move on.
Living separate from spouse, divorce has been filed, he has a lawyer, I don’t have the money or even a vehicle to get back and forth to work. When I left the toxic relationship at home he cut me off of all finances and resources and he’s been buying huge purchases with taxes like concert... View More

What you are describing is probably dissipation of assets. The court can stop him from continuing this conduct. You should speak with a lawyer, and you should be able to get relief. More information is needed to fully answer your question.

Legally, until she changes it. Practically, within a reasonable time (ie 0-90 days) after which you can seek to force compliance through the court.
When we divorced we agreed to joint custody and every other year we would take turns claiming g the federal tax credit for the child. Myex is now wanting to renegotiate child support. Which I don't pay because we have joint custody and she agreed to let me know about his expenses as they... View More

No. It is not possible to renegotiate alimony or maintenance. However, you could make a motion for 50/50 p arenting time with the child and to modify child support since under the new guidelines she could be paying you support.
I filed for a divorce. What if my husband files in another state as well?
If I can get my spouse to sign the marital agreement instead of trying to serve, how soon will the divorce be final?
answered on Mar 28, 2022
He will also have to sign an entry of Appearance along with the settlement agreement.
Custody order is being resolved in SC. Am I allowed to file just the divorce part in another state where I reside? South Carolina has jurisdiction over my kids.

Nothing will happen at all, review or not, until he is served. The case cannot proceed until he is served!!
My judge is reviewing my case April 8th. I'm still trying to get my husband served. What should I do? What more proof does the judge need ? I have text messages showing he refused to pick up the papers at the post office. I wish I could just turn in the Marital Agreement. I'm not asking... View More

No. Leaving the papers on the door is not service. A signature is not required (unless by mail), but they do have to be handed directly to him. May need a special bailiff to serve him properly.
How many attempts do I need to make to serve my spouse? Will I eventually have to file a Warning order or can I file default judgment?
answered on Mar 28, 2022
Until you get him served. He had to be before the court in order for you to file a motion for default judgment if he didn’t answer.

No way to answer this without a thorough review of the file.

answered on Mar 20, 2022
You should speak with a Kentucky lawyer. Your question is not clear. If a divorce was obtained without your knowledge then perhaps it did not address the issues of custody or property and you can address them by filing motions within the case. Since its not possible to answer your question... View More
Nothing else necessary.

You can do that in open court with your husband present. You cannot have one sided (ex parte) contact with the judge.
I assume I'm legally obligated to give her a copy? Sorry, I just have no trust in her intentions.
answered on Mar 7, 2022
Yes, since you and your ex filed a joint return in 2020 she is entitled to see a copy because it involves her.
I left our home because it was toxic, all my things are still there. Just talking between the 2 of us I told him I’d let him have the house, but I wanted whatever the court decided was my “portion”. He went behind my back and I just got sent a “temporary exclusive use and house... View More
answered on Feb 26, 2022
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
My husband has filed for divorce and I’ve been served papers, but what if I don’t have the funds to hire an attorney at the moment? He was always our main source of income and I stayed home a lot during our marriage.
answered on Feb 14, 2022
Find a lawyer who will petition the court for a advance of attorney fees from your ex. This is routinely done where there is a disparity of income between the spouses.
My husband and I both agreed it would be for the best that we separate. I left him in the house because his family lives in GA and he would have nowhere to go so I live with my brother. When I first moved in I had no job because I stayed with our son. Is he legally allowed to cut off all finances... View More
answered on Feb 12, 2022
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
