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.

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

Yes you can participate without an attorney you can list yourself as pro se because you’re representing yourself. It’s always my advice that you hire an attorney.

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 would contact the family member, friend or Attorney he designated to handle his affairs.

An Attorney and the client both have a right to end the Attorney-Client relationship at any time. You do not have to respond to the motion. You have the right to appear on the motion but unless there is something odd about your case or you have trial in a few days the Judge is likely to grant the... View More

Go to the courthouse where the case is filed snd order a complete copy of the file. Next, take the complete file to a family lawyer who can review the court order and tell you what has to be done to modify the prior order(s).

I would always advise to have an Attorney help prepare your agreement to make sure the Court will accept the terms. Child support is calculated pursuant to Kentucky Child Support Guidelines using the parents' income and other information. If the amount that you agree on for support is more... View More

It depends how long you were married and how long you lived in the home together but typically any assets and debts accumulated during the period of marriage are divided equally among the parties. If you bought the house together you would be entitled to half of the equity of the home that accrued... 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
Can he make me or can he cancel the insurace before the divorce is final? I thought there was a KY law that covers this issue but I have been unable to find it
answered on Dec 29, 2020
I am not sure by your question if the health insurance is with his employer or your employer? You can cancel the insurance whenever you want to if it is in your name with your employer. He can't make you cancel your own insurance. You would have to inform your employer when you are... View More
My husband has a child with his previous wife and in the divorce decree it states that they both agreed that if he doesnt try to see the child that there will be no more child support. But now we just received a Child Support review paper. What do we do?
He controls all the money. We only have 1 car and wants to kick me out without my kids. I'm not leaving my kids. I have 2 that are still nursing.
answered on Dec 5, 2020
In Kentucky there is a presumption that both parents should see the children 50% of the time and both parents should have joint custody and decision-making. That presumption can be overcome if one of the parties has problems like using drugs or it is not in the best interest of the children to see... View More

She wants me to pay maintenance until she is licensed and can sell, probably by year end. If I move out and have to pay for apartment and new bills, how would maintenance be calculated if all my income is spent on rent/mortgage/my bills/her bills? Could she be forced to get a FT job to help support... View More

Don’t move out. Don’t change anything and don’t pay any maintenance unless ordered to do so by the Court.

The property sits on an acre of land on my mother-in-laws farm. What would happen if my husband and I divorced?

Seeing the actual deed would be important, but basically you, your husband and m-I-l are either tenants in common or tenants with right of survivorship. Either way you m-I-l has a 1/3 or 1/2 interest in the property. If you and your husband divorce, she would be entitled to 1/3. If she and her... View More
for over 2 years even though he was abusive. Now that he has been approved and received 36,000 he won't give me a dime even though he stated he would many many times in the past 2 years and said that even if I file for a divorce I can't touch it. Is that true?
answered on Sep 25, 2020
You should go ahead and file, depending on the characterization of the income, you can probably still get your share.
He claims he filed but the state of Kentucky says there is no record of filing. He remarried in another state and I can’t afford to pay the fees
answered on Sep 14, 2020
He is guilty of the crime of bigamy. Check with your local bar association or legal aid society for a pro bono or reduced fee attorney.
