Every Part of Your Divorce, Handled

How Divorce Works in Kentucky

Kentucky is a no-fault divorce state, which means you do not have to prove wrongdoing — only that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The basic path looks like this:

• Residency. You or your spouse must have lived in Kentucky for at least 180 days before filing.
• Petition. A Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed in Scott County Family Court and served on your spouse. Our step-by-step filing guide walks through this in detail.
• 60-day waiting period. Kentucky requires at least 60 days from service before a divorce can be finalized.
• Resolution. Uncontested cases can be finalized soon after the waiting period. Contested cases proceed through temporary orders, discovery, and, if necessary, a hearing on custody, support, and property.
