DIVORCE
Divorce Law in Louisville, KY
Whether you are considering filing for divorce, or have already been served with divorce papers, it is important to contact a divorce lawyer who can help you understand your rights, and explain the divorce process to you. Divorce involves the division of marital property and marital debts, and the restoration of nonmarital and premarital property.
Uncontested Divorce
Not every divorce is adversarial. In some situations, a couple is able to come to an agreement on the division of marital property and debt, the restoration of nonmarital and premarital property, and issues relating to their children. If a couple is able to reach an agreement on their own, uncontested divorce may be right for them. In an uncontested divorce, while not representing both parties, the attorney prepares all of the documents for both parties, based on their agreement.

There are many factors in every divorce, and the specific issues will be different between every couple.

Contested divorces may be resolved through alternative dispute resolution, such as settlement negotiations or mediation, or by a Judge.
